Meh, the lack of drilling on a rotor never designed to be drilled is a big plus to me. But, hey, what do I know about brakes . . .

Um, the 300mm Focus SVT rotor works quite well under stock 16" wheels, whether you use the FSVT calipers, or the stock contour calipers with brackets. Get you're facts straight.

I'm not trying to discourage your sales here; I'm just trying to keep the playing field honest. And I happen to know a thing or two about brakes . . .




Ummm if you would note, please, the current disscussion was about the Bat brake kit. And it says right in their catalog that their 300mm kit requires wheels spaces. I am well aware that a 300mm rotor will fit in a stock 16" wheel, I own the VOA prototype kit. I am also aware of the Focus 300mm setup as well. I was not talking about the Focus kit at all, I was talking about the BAT kit in compairison to the VOA kit.

As far as the drilling and slotting goes, I believe just about everyone knows that it doesn't do much, if anything for our cars, but some people still like the look. Drilling and slotting is offered as a free option, so if you don't want it, great don't get it.

For someone that is not trying to discourage sales you sure are doing a good job of twisting things around to make them look bad. Just so everyone is aware, my obligations to VOA to display or even talk at all about this kit were done the second I pulled my car into Cougarfest. I have nothing to gain from the sale of their kit, other then to see two nice guys sell a good brake kit, and to see Cougar & Contour owners enjoying the kit. My offering to do compairison brake tests, and double test the fitment with Contour wheels is for the good of the Contour and Cougar community, not VOA. I may not know it all about brakes, but I'm doing what little I can to help.
