Originally posted by warmonger: Originally posted by Stazi the Aussie: Is it just me or do those FSVT calipers and pads look REMARKABLY the same as E0 calipers? Hmmmmmmm..... If they ARE the same, maybe we can gey buy with just buying the caliper brakets and rotors to upgrade to FSVT sizes, like the SE boys do to upgrade to E1 CSVT brakes. Can anyone confirm whether they are the same? I wonder if anyone with an E0 has converted to FSVT brakes....? Boy if that is the case then this IS the answer for me!! I need new brackets and probably new rotors too. I think I am going to get those Bendix pads you are selling too. PM me if you find out anything good will you? warmonger I will try and find out. Rara who works for Ford as a brake engineer can clear this up for me. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

LoL...I knew someone would catch that!!! I just installed that wheel as a mock up as to what it would look like. I grabbed the first wheel in my stack and it was a left side. After the photo I removed the tire and finished the install.Then installed the wheels/tires on the correct sides, off the jacks and torqued!

I will post them up later...If anyone has good pics of E0 SVT calipers and pads we can compare them. I also noticed that the calipers and pads are made by ATE..Just like the E0 ones were... Hmmmmm!
