did my brake swap today no progress pics i couldnt find the camera:( so i only have a finished picture so here they are on winter wheels





i'll have to post pictures with the new wheels when i get tires

lemme no what you guys think

gotta say thanks to ken for getting me the kit and gotta also thank john for all the help and links to this

thanks guys:D

Looks awsome man. Can't wait to see it with the new wheels.

damn, those rotors sure do feel in those 15's pretty good

Nicely done man! That looks sharp!

those rims sure look familiar...... :lol:

Nice job man!! Was it very hard to do it? Hiw long did it take?

Sorry if this doesn't sound so smart, but I'm going to be doing the swap this summer for sure and the only thing I would love to know is will the stock 15" focus rims work with the swap?

If you're not sure exactly which 15s im talkin about, its these ones: 15 Stock Rims

Only reason I'd like to know is because I intend on ditching the piece of crap road tires at some point this summer for some new rims/tires and will be buying snows for those rims for the upcoming winter.

Just want to be 100% it will work out

Looks good man, looking forward to seeing the finished project.

Yes, your 15inch stock rims will fit on the rear. If you got the SVT front brakes they would be to big for the 15's

Looks great buddy. If you have problem putting the Ebrake on let me know. I might able to make it out for that, but it's not likely lol.
