My car: 1998 E0 SVT Contour w/ 138K
I've been reading up for a while regarding this upgrade and weather to do Warmongers brackets and the FSVT rotors or buy FSVT calipers, pads and rotors instead. All I find while reading is "The pedal will be softer if you use the FSVT calipers" ...but I have yet to read any solid info explaining this.
I know the issue with using the FSVT caliper is the bore size (its 54mm instead of 60mm on the CSVT) resulting in a softer pedal but due to the fact the master cylinder is 2mm bigger on the CSVT the pedal should come in sooner then before--so *maybe* the pedal wont make a huge difference? (PS: I'm also aware of the 4mm spacer that is needed)
I'd rather use Warmongers brackets but since I get a screaming deal (I work for an auto shop); FSVT calipers with brackets, pads and regular rotors will cost me just about half of what Warmonger brackets and rotors are.
Has anyone actually installed the Focus SVT calipers etc. on a Contour SVT? If so, is the pedal feel that much of a difference or is there any else that I need to be aware of? ..I'm just torn and would rather save the money if possible but on the flip side I do want the car to stop.
:help:
(Sorry for the long-winded post)
