I have seen the article, which was great reading if I remember correctly. I posted much of the section on the benefits of slotted rotors on this forum when it came out.
My current setup is as follows:
Stock rotors/KVR pads, SS brake lines, Ford motorsport 550 fluid.
According to templates by BAT, the backing plates are different on the later SVTs. I haven't tried them myself though...
For SSB, ducting is out. But for ITS, which should be next year eligible IIRC, I may be able to fabricate fiberglass ducts that dont go much below the a-arms, but keep a sufficient diameter as to allow unchanged airflow from the foglight holes.
