Matt, they should fit just fine, since you have the 16" SVT wheels which are needed for clearance issues. However, just putting the bigger rotor on would be pointless...for one it wouldn't fit, but then you still have a smaller pad/caliper, which kinda defeats the purpose. Not to mention to make the stock svt caliper work you'd need some sort of bracket to raise it up. You'll need the SVTF calipers AND rotors. Chris A. should have all the part numbers, I've only got the caliper boxes so those are the only numbers Ihave. You cna always contact bill jenkins, he'll know exactly what you need.

Quick question because I as well would like to upgrade my brakes but dont really see the need for a race spec setup like willwood and Bear and dont much like the price tag either... Are there any aftermarket rotors that we could get to go along with FSVT calipers like cross drilled or gas slotted... That would be better for aesthetic reasons of course.... And I see the price was about 360$ but how much for just the Calipers and then what kind of price are we looking at for some cross drilled or slotted FSVT rotors???

This is the other plus I was thinking of when doing this. Anything that bolts up to the SVTF should fit our cars in the same manner...only issue is wheel clearance (16" wheels vs the 17" of the focus). I saw some slotted/drilled rotors posted for the focus a while back, but this was more practical. Also, i wouldn't buy anything that requires spacers to bolt up to the focus in the first place, cause you'll need more to make them fit the contour which = bad. I have the bill at home i cna itemise the ford parts for you, aftermarket stuf fI have no idea on price.

I'm talking about rotor replacements for the focus SE / zx3-5, not SVT... wonderin if they're the same size as my SE brakes? i know the svt rotors are bigger.. i drive with small wheels in the winter though so that wont do...

Cool! I didn't think that they would fit under the 16"CSVT wheels.
NOW I can consider this upgrade when my fronts are shot. Can't afford to do wheels tires and brakes all at once. probably will stick with my 16"ers anyway.
Are there any issues with the ABS systems FSVT vs. CSVT.
I think they are both 4 channel bosch? So I guess it would all work out the same? Just wanted to be sure.

Very nice you guys got it working! I think I'll save my money for the Wilwood kit though. They're just a tag more money and same stock size, but they're a hell lot lighter and look better.

Still waiting on pix, before a nice writeup, but the longer bolt part number is W500443-S426.
