Frankly it's not looking good Oscar. The issue is that Ford has cancelled the Focus SVT rear brake caliper bracket and of course Ford Racing Parts buys their kit contents from Ford.
When I log into my account page on the Ford Racing website I can see some additional product details ... and they have recently changed the E.T.A. on this kit from 09/01/2011 to 12/31/2011 which is obviously not a positive development.
I'll call them later today to find out if there's any additional information to be had ... in the meantime I guess we should start thinking in terms of what if it's cancelled for good.
I remember hearing about this last year at this time (and even posted up about it in a previous brake group buy thread) but when it didn't happen I figured it was an unfounded rumour.
Hopefully if Ford hasn't changed their mind about manufacturing the bracket, Ford Racing can come up with an alternative source.
Fingers crossed.
