Would you be able to use the CSVT calipers with the FSVT rotors on a 2000 CSVT?

Not to mention it would defeat the purpose! As far as a non SVT goes...you can probably get away with the fronts, unless you have 4 wheel disc.

So there is no need to change the caliper bracket right?

What about the back end.
Did you guys do any work with the rear calipers and rotors.
And I'd like to see those pics when you get 'em.
Brackets, will that be an issue for the E0 vs E1 vs Non-SVT. They can't all use the same caliper brackets.

Caliper brackets are definately different, you will have to use the FSVT caliper brackets w/ the FSVT calipers.
I believe these do fit under the stock SVT wheels, IIRC I have seen a few Focus SVTs w/ CSVT wheels mounted all the way around (test vehicles on winter tires)
It's all about balance.

One other item to keep in mind, no-one knows what affect fitting these brakes will have on pedal feel, in travel or in pedal force.
