SVT Rear Brake Upgrade with OEM Front Brakes

Just got in my rear SVT caliper brackets. The rotors and StopTech Sport pads come in tomorrow. I’ll be pairing them with OEM front brakes with Hawk 5.0 pads. I’ll post my review once installed on Friday or so. It’ll be interesting having almost even size rotors in the front and rear.

You'll love the nice subtle difference it makes. I know I did.

so this bracket allow us to run front caliper at the back?
No you reuse your stock rear caliper. The advantage is you get to use the larger diameter SVT Focus rotor.

I hope you clean those up and check the pins.. Those look nasty!
I’ve got some new pins and boots in transit and I’ll be cleaning the brackets before install. They are pretty rusty right now! Somehow the pins move without too much resistance but I think it’s a good idea to replace them anyway.

Thanks for the info, any noticeable difference for this upgrade? i like the look of bigger rotors to fill inside the wheels too

You use OEM FiST caliper with Focus SVT rear bracket and rotor.

Yeah there is a noticeable difference. It's subtle but you do notice a little bit.

It's obsolete now but the old Part # is 2M5Z-2B582-AA

Just wanted to post an update.

Rotors, pads, boots, and half the pins are in. I thought the pins were sold per axle, but it's per wheel so I'm waiting on those now. Should've looked closer at the posting! I should get them Friday so I'll install the brakes this weekend and have a review next week.

Another update,

Ended up getting shipped the wrong part # brake pads. The correct ones (Hopefully) are en route ETA next Tuesday so the review should be up by the end of next week.

just an FYI

we have a 2 piece front rotor kit and large rear rotor kit in the works that includes billet brackets to relocate the OEM calipers front and rear

it's pretty slick and will be very affordable
will only be sold as a kit that addresses all 4 corners

stay tuned[lovest]

sounds good, but you will sell replacement rotors too right?

yes
of course
and will release the dimensions of the rotors used
The brackets will be proprietary - no more searching for hard to find OEM parts

What size wheels will they fit under?
