Looks like there is a new for '06 FSVT brake kit. I know about the HUGE post on FSVT Brakes, BUT does this kit change anything?

Looks like it should work to me. Might need spacers for the calipers.

I'm liking that Ford has brought an SRT-style approach to upgrades. I really want to hear that straight pipe kit for the Ford GT. The stock exhaust seems very quiet for such a powerful car. Even the sport exhaust should sound good.

Doesn't change anything. Same parts we've been talking about for a long time.

However, it does include the rear brakes for the SVTF, and no one has checked to see how those will work. Ironically, a week or so ago, I grabbed Worldtour's take off rear brakes to check for fitment on a contour. Who knows when I'll get a chance to actually check it though . . . I need new rear pads and rotors anyway, so I may be forced to check it soon.

From discussions on the FJ, this appears really nothing more than a parts bin clearance sale. At a very nice price. Especially for those with drum rear Foci.

It has actually led me to drop the ZX3 kit completely and when gone i will no longer do iron knuckle mods for that kit- they'll have to source some SVT parts and buy that kit.

As for ears I don't believe you'll find a lot of value there. The biggest issue being that all the rear rotors are solid, not vented. For street use that's fine but for the money you might be ahead still with other angles and Contour speicific parts.
