Looking at the price of the front and rear and how close they are.If you have an 05-07 there's really no point in upgrading to SVT - there's hardly any difference in rotor size - the difference between the stopping power and feel of my wife's '04 ZTW and my '07 is very noticeable - I like my brakes and don't like hers. I have no interest in changing my front brakes.

On the other hand, for those with 00-04 there's the front rotor replacement kit to upgrade to the 05-07 non-SVT setup ... for $180 bucks less than the SVT fronts - if it were me, that's the way I'd go.
EDIT: BTW - for those of us with 05-07 models, upgrading to SVT front brakes does not require new spindles ... it's all bolt on - rotors, calipers and pads ... and of course you'll need 17" wheels.
