hopefully i'm getting this right and not sounding like a broken record.
this will use the csvt calipers and pads front and rear? csvt front rotor goes to the back and fsvt front rotor goes to csvt front. ss lines recommended.
so whats the benefit of going with the fsvt front kit? does the fsvt use larger calipers with better pistons and larger pads to sweep the 300mm rotors better? will the csvt pads be big enough to sweep the larger rotors (front and rear). so once the kit is completely installed and worn out, then we'll go shopping for csvt front/rear pads as we would now and csvt front rotors for the back and fsvt front rotors for the csvt front. i think this is right, right?

For a CSVT: Purchase FSVT front rotors and custom brackets. FSVT
- Install FSVT front rotor with stock CSVT calipers using custom bracket.
- Install CSVT front rotor on rear with stock rear CSVT calipers using custom bracket.
- FSVT front caliper is the same as CSVT front caliper. The benefit of going with the larger rotor: increase in diameter will increase the braking torque (even with the stock calipers), larger surface area will help cooling and decrease fade.
- SS Lines are recommended.

Incorrect. The SVTF caliper is slightly larger and mounts differently. (thus requiring a special "SVTF" bracket)
Also for the record - All CDW-27 rear disc brake components are the same. They are not SVT specific. (well the stock SVT rear rotors supposedly had a "dacromat" finish)

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

ok got it. so price wise and i dont race the car, going to fsvt calipers isnt really needed. csvt calipers with fsvt rotors will be fine for street driving.

I'm in no hurry but would like to be put on the list of "PM as this progresses further" as it sounds like a good cost efficient upgrade for those of us who don't NEED a big 13" brake upgrade but would rather just stop a little cooler and easier 
If/When this comes available i will be in on a full set of new pads, all hardware/brackets, and most likely the FSVT Rotors

Well to be honest if I had the $$$$ I would get the TCE anyway. Besides the lighter wallet, youre better off.
