Stazi,

I realize that this kit is for SVT front rotors on the back and FSVT front rotors. My question is for us guys with Baer 13" (330mm) front brakes would the FSVT front 300mm rotors be a better match for the rear instead of the 280mm SVT rotors? Just thinking down the road

Thanks,
Scott

I wouldn't say that. Sure with BAER$'s you get more front bias, but I wouldn't downgrade from BAER's to FSVT's. Just the rear kit, for guys with your setup, will bring the brake biasing closer to what it should be.

You missunderstood me...I think. I'm asking if I put the FSVT 300mm front rotors on the rear and keep the Baer 330mm's on the front. That would give me 330mm front and 300mm rear (would need a different adapter bracket to do this) but would the biasing be close to where it should be?

Guys to run FSVT's in the rear will need a different bracket again, and frankly I think it would start looking a little ridiculous seeing as the actual swept area on the FSVT rotors, buy a stock rear pad would be patheticly thin compared to the diameter of the rotor.

I will guess that Tom won't want to make an even larger offset bracket.

And if it were me making the brackets, I wouldn't bother IMHO, the return on investment and the benefit doesn't justify the effort.

I realize that a different bracket would be needed and may even take it on myself...I have been thinking about this for quite a while. I'm running 18" wheels and the stock SVT rear rotor looks lost, the 13" Baer looks great up front. But as stated the bias is probably off a good bit with this combination. Just wondering if the FSVT 300mm would be better then the SVT 280mm in the rear in combination with the Baer 13" 330mm front brakes?

If you had the option which would be best?
front 330mm (13"), rear 280mm (11")
VS.
front 330mm (13"), rear 300mm (11 13/16")

Thanks

Scott - look at what I said. The REAR pad and caliper will look ridiculous (i.e. lost...as you put it) on FSVT front rotors.

ok I got it now I suppose I'll be getting a set of rear brackets when they are available.

too bad this car doesn't have an internal drum e-brake/disk brake set-up...rear upgrades would sure be a lot easier

Thanks,
Scott
