WOW! great price ken! if i needed another set of rears, i would be in for sure! unfortunately i dont so BUMP for those who do!!
What's the difference in size compared to the st rear brakes? Is there a difference?
The rotor size is a about an inch larger on the SVT. The bracket is also a bit different to accomodate that. The calipers themselves are actually the same, but for anyone who needs rear brakes this is a steal. For people who buy OEM this is pretty close to what your looking at for replacement parts alone. Why not upgrade. I want to upgrade but I just did my brakes last year so i guess ill hold off a while longer. Still plenty of life on em.

^^ What he said ... calipers, pads, spindles are the same ... caliper bracket is unique and SVT rear rotor is 11.02" diameter, vs non-SVT which is 10.0" diameter.

You only need 25% by the 28th ... we can settle the rest when the time comes to deliver them - which will be no earlier than the 13th and we could even stretch it a couple of weeks Leo if you needed to.
oh yeah? then i am in lol
Lol Ken I hope my wheels don't fall off before that with the busted bearings.
is it okay to pay you 25% deposit on monday?

Just as long as its before the 28th you're good ... I'll send you a detailed PayPal invoice and you pay it when you can.

Geez ... that bad eh?

UPDATE:

We have two, just need one more ... and if we get a fourth, everyone gets an additional 8 bucks off ... so with four we get down to 430. ea
Ken count me in as well! I'm deffinately in!

Okay - we're a go then ... looking for a fourth now to lower the cost even more.
Lol Ken I don't know how bad the bearings are, not crazy bad I think, but Kevin told me about his experience on the gardener which scared me a little lol. Well whatever it is looks like the gb is a go alreadySmile just matter of getting the stuff now. Till then im just gonna pray a little harder before driving everyday:p
if it was a front kit id be in...free bump for a great kit and even better person to deal with
Ken, do these come with new brake lines? I'm looking into some SS ones and I'm woderig if the svt kit will work? Also, found these ST stainless steel brake lines (https://www.gp-werks.com/products/Techna...52d07.html) and wondering if they'll fit after the swap as well?

Yes it comes with new brake lines although your existing ones would work if you want to retain them.

I've had problems before with some SS brake lines being a few cm short for the SVT conversion kit ... even the ones spec'd for the ST which in theory should work fine. Make sure whomever you buy the SS lines from confirms without doubt that they work on the SVT conversion kit.
