So far as I know, everyone has fully swapped to the FSVT calipers to use the FSVT rotors. I only know of a single case where someone has taken the later SVT/Cougar calipers, and used the FSVT anchor brackets to accomodate the FSVT rotor. That case is on my car. I took FSVT rotors, anchor brackets, and pads, along with the hardened washers and longer bolts, and put them on my car using the stock SVT caliper housings. The only catch to this is that the FSVT pad backing plate needs to be modified slightly to fit the housing properly. Well, the other catch is that this swap makes sense only if you can source the FSVT anchor brackets seperately; and since they only come from Ford as part of a complete caliper assembly, it doesn't make much sense for anyone else to do what I did, whether you have the E0 or later calipers. That said, I don't even know for sure if the E0 calipers would work with the FSVT anchor brackets.

Rara(or anyone), do you have a source for zinc coated calipers? I'd really like to avoid the "rusty rotor" if I can.

LOL! Stone washed. Anywho their is a place in Grand Rapids thats called Midwest Plating Co. They did 4 rotors for Eurotour for $25. He said he'd do as many rotors for that also. I need to get 2 FSVT rotors done as well. Guess I should buy them since I have everything else to go on the car. Well want to do SS lines as well. $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Go to www.switchboard.com and put in Plating in Ft. Wayne, IN. 6 places are listed some don't look like they do zinc washing though. Call around and I'm sure you can get it done locally for cheap.

Just fooling around on that site, I found a link to what appears to be a really decent brake supplier. They are QUICK about emailing you back, and I mean within 5 minutes!! The website is www.raceshopper.com. They don't carry any plain FSVT rotors YET, but they do have slotted, and also diamond slotted(see site) available. Prices break down as such: FSVT rotors - Slotted: $164.87/pair FSVT rotors - Diamond slotted: $178.88/pair All of their rotors come with an anti-corrosion coating, and can be nickel plated for an extra $35/pair.
