^^ It's true ... but here's the catch - the only way this makes sense is if you can find the parts used and cheap ... the kits that Ford sells are a fraction of the cost of all the parts if you were to buy them individually.

The other thing (not a big thing, really) is that the rear discs from the 05+ ST are slightly smaller than the SVT rear discs.

LOL they are more than slightly smaller after my brain fart pruchase of 05 ST front and rear Cross Drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads lol.

Anywho....

The kit only cost me the cost of Ken's price plus a bottle of DOT 4 brake fluid, and the cost of 2 Front SS braded Focus lines and 2 Rear SS custom 20" braded lines with Ford fittings.

You will need a 30mm and a 32mm socket for the huds because my older nutz were smaller than my new SVT nutz (haha if your mind is in the gutter then laugh)

You will need a breaker bar along with atleast 180FT torque of arm strength. Or a nice strong air gun running above 120PSI.

jack stands, jacks, socket set, rivet gun, ext...

I have pics some where in the "How To" section on the forum. (I can't seem to find it so I will post it up again tonight if anyone can't locate it on here)
