I've got a borrowed SVT Focus caliper that I will be pulling the bracket from and testing w/ the E1 caliper to see if it will clear the SVT Focus rotor.



This is what I'm waiting for!!
I don't have a lot of money left after the turbo costs so I need a simple upgrade. If the focus SVT brackets will allow my existing calipers to clear the rotors then I'll be set! The new brackets will fix the problem that I have with the abnormal wear on the old brackets.

What about pads? Those are determined by both the caliper and the mounting bracket on our cars. Will the focus bracket require focus SVT pads or SVT pads, or are they the same? If the pads are E0 for Focus SVT will the E1 calipers still work with them?

Eagerly waiting!
