Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Brakes Baer or wilwood?

Todd, it may be also that SVTs have better brakes stock. While only 11" and not the trash can lid size parts that are popular now they work well (70 to 0 in 165 ft), and are WORLDS better stock than SHO or Impala SS. Same for suspension. Engine parts get most "gear head" interest on SVTs as we do not have LT1 V8s!. Not saying your brakes are not good, we just are in less urgent need...

Are you guys absolutely sure? 'Cause I really want your calipers and I really want to use my stock rims.

If this was pointed my way, the stock wheel will fit the NDL WITH the addition of about .250 min spacers. I'm sorry that it cannot fit the stock wheel any better, but given the shape of the spokes this is about as good as it gets. BE SURE to reference the use of stock wheels on any emials to me. I get dozens of emails a day about different kits and can quickly pass over some of these details which has the habit of coming back and biting me later....

I was wondering if the 13" Kit, either Todd's Kit or Baer's, would fit the 17" Focus SVT wheels ?

Funny you should ask. I have requested a wheel be lent to me for test fit of this very application for the Focus kits. Seems the supplier won't return my emails....

I'd say that diameter is not a problem, but most factory wheels simply don't have the proper caliper clearance to the spokes. My bet is that they too will require spacers of some sort. Will advise when I find out for sure.

Sean, your kit is on hold for a back order on calipers from Wilwood (can call to confirm if you prefer) and they tell me that the NDLs as well as SL6 I have on order will not leave Camarillo until next Wednesday. I apologize for the dealy, but shipped out a couple of Focus kits that depleated stock prior to yours.....
