Im gonna need brakes soon too. I really hope you can get some kind of bracket kit for CEG. I have a feeling alot of people on here would be very interested in a kit. I like using OEM parts to upgrade with.  -tropictour

Good work guys, this is awsome! I've been toying with the idea of going out for TCE or the Baer fronts, but I think that'd be a bit over kill for my useage of my car. I do need something, and soon like so many others.
I'd be up for either a how-to or even a kit. This is the ultimate OEM setup for our cars

Hmm, I just happen to have a set of 280mm rotors lying around.

According to Demons post, YES.
My understanding is that the Front 280mm rotors will be moved to the back, but the stock rear calipers will be retained. If you don't keep the stock rears, you lose the parking brake.
Demon should be the one to answer this, but I suspect that his brackets would preclude the use of the E0 front calipers. The brake pad backing plate partually rests against the bracket, and although you could probably mount the caliper, I have no idea where you would find the custom pad that would be required.
Also a question for Demon about the rears. IIRC the hat offset of the old rear and old front rotors is different. You must have accounted for that when you built the new rear brackets. Any enlightenment there?

You didn't read my post. I invented both these brake conversion kits and asked Demon to do final adjustments and modifications to the fronts for me since I had already put on FSVT brakes on the front of my car... 
So trust me when I say the E0 calipers will work fine.
I compensated for the rotor hat offsets and diameters in the bracketry and spacer design, both front and rear.

Are you saying that you came up with a bracket that will take both the E0 and E1 pads? Or is this a second extension piece that lets you use stock calipers of any type?

Right. I can't see Greg or Tom doing this and eliminating the stock bracket. Must have made a plate to move the stock bracket up.

So basically we'll need:
FSVT 300mm rotors for front
CSVT 280mm rotors for rear
CSVT stock calipers
Mounting kit/hardware
SS brake lines(optional?)
I just want to make sure that we'd be using the stock calipers that are currently on the car. No moving calipers from front to back, or anything like that. Just adding a mounting kit, to accomodate for the larger rotors.

I have a few questions:
Do you plan to fab and sell this? If not, will you release the dimensions and material specs so someone else can do so?
Do you have to machine the SVT front rotors to get them to fit in the rear calipers?
