What's the difference in size compared to the st rear brakes? Is there a difference?
RE: PERFECT STORM GB - SVT REAR BRAKES - lonewolf - 07-22-2011
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.

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

RE: PERFECT STORM GB - SVT REAR BRAKES - MuskokaZX3 - 07-22-2011
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%252dFit-Stainless-Steel-Brake-lines-%252d-Ford-Focus-ST-05%252d07.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.
