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.

The Rally Brake kit (M-2300-ZXR) is a front brake replacement option ... the notation above about the brake caliper brackets is in reference only to the rear brake kit.
According to the FRPP website, the M-2300-ZXR will ship within 24 hours of an order.
At one time many moons ago, FRPP offered the rear brakes from the ST (which are slightly smaller than SVT rotors) but it was cancelled long ago.
In any event, it included the same caliper bracket as the SVT rear brake kit, so even if they still offered it, it would be in the same boat as the SVT rear brake kit.

Nope - they're the same as the front brakes on your car - Ford offers this kit for people who want the larger front brakes than what came stock 00-04, but that will still fit under 15" rims which the SVT brakes will not.

Will do ... BTW, I did send you a PM a while ago.
Anyway ... so much for crossing the fingers - just spoke to Ford Racing and unfortunately M-2300-SVTR is now permanently cancelled and there are none in stock in their warehouse.
There may be the odd kit here and there in stock at a dealer (just not any that we know of) but for sure they would be going for full retail which is 550 USD + shipping + taxes.
The situation is that Ford manufacturing has cancelled the rear caliper bracket for the SVT Focus and Ford Racing does not have an alternate source and they have no intentions of engineering their own.
PayPal refunds are immediately available for anyone that wants one (assuming of course you gave me a deposit in the first place LOL) ... or if like Korby you want to apply it to something else, that's okay too.
Paul ... if you want a refund please confirm your email addy for the email money transfer.
In the meantime I'm going to be suggesting to Ford Racing that they continue to offer the kit even without the bracket, and I'm going to research an alternate bracket for it. My sense is that there is still a viable market for these kits. Although if the price increases substantially, perhaps not.
If this kit were to be made available again but say for an additional 75 bucks or so, do you think there is a market?
In any event Group Buy is closed - sorry gents.
