I wanted ask too what year would the brakes be for beacause i want to get some stainless brakelines front and rear and just as an example, 2004 SVT rear stainless braided brakelines, or would this be the 05+ ST rear brake kit.. If you understand what I am talking about. Or did I totally confuse you?

I think the ST rear disks and the svt rear disks are the same kit, I could be wrong though. Going from rear discs to drums I really do notice the difference in stopping power and brake feel. I would say it would be money well spent.

You are correct - same kit ... and John, this kit fits any Focus made ... and it uses the same ABS sensor as the drums do, so it doesn't even matter if you have ABS or not.

As to value, I know of a member on here who recently spent more to repair the rear brakes than this kit costs ... I won't mention names but perhaps he will post up ... so if you're looking at spending money to fix your rear brakes in the next little while, this kit makes even more sense.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have no trouble doing my discs ... but I won't even think about doing drums anymore. And the fact that the shoes last as long as they do, despite being really thin, suggests to me that we don't get much braking power from the rear drums. That's why I'm doing this kit.

And Nik ... are you saying you are actually in the market for front SVT brakes ... or are you just whoring up my thread :rolleyes: :lol: :ph34r:
