Anyone that’s in (or passing through) the Bay Area is welcome to contact me to meet up for a test fit as time permits

I’m contemplating arranging another batch as a group buy later this spring/summer when things cool down at work
Sadly I'm down in Socal so a bit long of a drive :(

Also I meant to ask, do these calipers reuse the existing brake lines with the banjo bolts or does it need a different setup? Would suck to have to replace my new SS brake lines.

They actually do work with the same Fiesta brake lines. Just a shorter banjo bolt is needed. Not sure if the OEM lines with the “hook” on the end will interfere, but the aftermarket stainless lines definitely fit

That's good, just need to know what sizing (I have whoosh Stainless Steel lines). I'll measure the clearance on the Enkeis tonight, The quoted 2.25 inches of clearance is from the surface of the rotor to the spoke correct?

Correct - the caliper sticks out 2.125” from the rotor and the SVT rotor outer face sits at the exact same depth as the stock one

Just checked my Enkeis. They will not fit :( There's only ~2 inches of clearance (technically probably 1.8 inches) between the spoke and rotor face. Well that makes this upgrade a bit more spendy if I need to replace my wheels.
