That part number is for the Rally Kit (front Rally, rear SVT), not the SVT kit; so the product description is incorrect - the Rally kit did not come with 300mm front rotors.
Ford Racing hasn't produced M-2300-ZX3R for a while now - so it would be valuable for the rear parts especially.
The last time I purchased one for one of the members on here the price was 655 USD before shipping and importation, so if Pat has one it's probably worth the money.
Here's the correct product description: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-2300-ZX3R/

Wow thats a crazy price from Steeda. Wouldn't it be easier to search down some parts from a 05-07 St or look at how the Rear brakes from a 2012 piece together. Then just get a hub assembly for the 4X108 and rotors and pads too...?

You dont need disks out back. Get the brembo kit its exspensive but well worth it.

Discs out back are sorta needed for proper braking balance if you have the brembo's. Not only that but it is cheaper and easier to replace disks then drums.

Did you call Steeda? What's the story there?

On the track I really noticed the difference between the cars I've had with front SVT brakes and rear drums with those that I've put SVT all round; but then again on the track you always want to acheive 9/10ths braking without getting into the anti-lock and with sticky track tires on a dry track that's a lot of braking.
On the street I'm not so sure how important it is - with panic stops on regular tires and/or wet roads I think the anti-lock system will balance braking before any difference in front / rear balance is felt.
If we're talking about cars without ABS, then for sure - don't do it.

No ... I meant if you don't have ABS then upgrade all four corners, not just the front ... or if you can't do all four corners then don't do it. If the front brakes are a lot more effective than the rears the problem is they will skid long before the rears actually do much braking at all - in effect you will have just two-wheel braking.
The effect is much less extreme if you have ABS - you just put the pedal to the floor and let the system modulate the braking effect at each corner.

I'd call Steeda right now - - my bet is they don't have one and can't get them - better to know now IMO
