They are nothing but stock contour calipers. I am assuming that my local dealer can order the parts so I can save on shipping.

I just read the other day that Bill Jenkins had left Signature Lincoln Mercury and had gone to work for Team Ford (about five minutes from my home). I've been buried at work so I haven't had time to call and verify for myself though. The price I quoted was from Genuine Ford Parts (see the link in my post above). I almost bought the SVT Focus front brakes for my SE (I had even bought the 3mm spacers from Todd at TCE), but am getting so tired of paying Fordâ�?��?�s high prices and getting junk that when I found a good price on the Baer front brake kit I bought it instead.

If it keeps you out of one rear end collision, it will more than pay for itself. Don't count your pennies on things that keep you safe. yes... I am a cougar owner trolling on your board.

If you go to the track often certainly, but a daily driver? Are the factory brakes unsafe for normal application? I think not. '98 SVT Red/midnight blue - a few mods E0 wheels for sale - PM me

That is without shipping but will include the upgraded front brake lines from BAT. Calipers (brackets and pads include) and bolts from Bill, rotors and upgraded lines from BAT. I think this is a tremendous deal! I will have to front the core charges but that's cool with me. To all those that have helped me understand this and find the best upgrade of the buck thanks.

Bill Jenkins Rulz! But now that he's not with a dealer, I'll have to change my sig. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
