yes, great work!! i have a SLIGHTLY off topic Q though. I have kvr (253mm rear) x-drilled, to make it look more uniform. does kvr sell 300mm rotors xdrilld that have all the clearance necessary (noob to brake engineering)?

Apff...we started on this topic WAY back in the summer time! Toying with the idea of messing with the rear calipers/rotors from a FSVT, but I dunno yet. Originally posted by Phil Rohtla:

Call bill jenkins. I sent him my old stock SVT contour calipers and got a core return.
Also, this is just a front conversion...I would like to experiment with the rear, but money, time and other priorities are an issue right now. For all intensive purposes, the rears should work as well. Just need to buy the parts and try it.

No, you need at least 16" wheels to clear.
