300mmx278mm brake group buy

[morbid]

I don't know about that. The FSVT setup is offset 4mm for us contour guys but might not be offset at all for the regular focus guys. The question then would be is the offset already built into their brackets or not?
Also, what size stock rotors do the Focus guys run?

That's two questions that would need to be answered before we could attempt it.

I posted this url and basic info over at FocalJet.

Yeah the price for the brackets sounds good so I'm confirmed in for front and rear kit.

I'm of course ready to send money the second I get final word.

And warmonger, I'm sure you've considered this, but if not, couldn't you have a few extra sets made and just sell them for higher than GB price when people come up with the cash. I'm sure you'd have no problem selling 2 or 3 within a few months.

Ok, here's my situation. If this is something that will be available later, I'd be better off financially if I could wait a few months. BUT. I want this. So if this is my only oppertunity to get this kit then I'll make it happen.

Am I understanding you correctly that we have until this weekend to get in on this (now or never)?

I'm in the exact same boat. I CAN do it it now, but i'd rather wait.

If it's now or never, I'm in now for a full set.

 

[Frosty]

Im also in the same boat. I don't know if i can make it this payday though...ive just got too much stuff going on. I hope this isn't a now or never sort of deal

 

[CSVT#49]

Rear brakes?

Rear brakes?

With the rear kit do we have to use the CSVT front calipers with the CSVT front rotors? I can't imagine that you would put he CSVT rear calipers on such a big rotor. Any insight on this or did I miss something? Thanks.

I have thought of this but right now the costs are high. I also have to pay for the prototype brackets, two different runs that has to factor into the costs.
I will order extra but it just depends on how much money comes in. I'm already in the hole on my own coin, to the point.

For those of you who want to get in on the buy but are hurting for cash at this point: You may pay a partial deposit to help offset the costs and I'll give you a specified time to pay the remainder. I'll hold on to the stuff and when its paid in full I'll send them out to you. I can only afford to do this for a couple of people so please only do this if you MUST.

Right now the list is starting to look good though.

Just so you know, the pricing quotes are based on 25 sets of front and rear brackets each. The fabricator is already checking on how the price is going to change for runs of less than 25 sets. I hope it only affects it a few bucks per set but who knows.

No, the rear calipers do fit on the bigger rotor.
It doesn't look bad, trust me!

You just take a nice bit of silver high temp paint and paint the inside hate of the rotor on the rear, then use some solvent to clean off where the pad rides on the outside of the rotor. Or just mask it off with some tape the thickness of the rear pad and paint everything. I used Thermotec on my rears to prevent corrosion and match the silver wheel. Then I used Black VHT to paint the caliper brackets. The following pictures are from Demon SVTs car.

I'm in for the rears. I have wanted front and rear all along.

I'll post pictures of my car with the wheels on the ground this weekend when I'm home. I want to add though that the picture of the car standing still is only part of the improved looks. I was watching the car on the dyno when I had it smogged a few weeks ago and noticed just how good the brakes looked with the wheels spinning.

I also want to add just how much better the brakes are with the larger front rotors. My subjective opinion is that the stopping distance improved about 15%. Beyond that, the overall braking feeling is greatly improved. This is a modification that won't disappoint you.

Thanks for the great effort getting these kits in production!

Have any test installers taken any pics of the installation process? Ive seen the drawings in the word doc., but am interested in seeing the spindle when you are done grinding it.
