Would the final kit be SVX specific? Looks like the rotor is drilled to be universal. Did I read the tag attached to the caliper in the one pic right to say the caliper is "for race use only"? I agree with Doug - is there a proportioning valve in the mix?

You guys dont know the rules of manufacturing....
but Ill explain.....
If they can make one rotor that fits a variety of cars = lower cost and overhead
If they can use the same caliper to fit several cars = lowers cost of overhead etc
Every large brake manufacturer does it this way:
Baer, Brembo, Precision you name it.....
Once they have the main components on hand, then they can build rest of the kit for much less $ to fit individual cars.
No need for proportioning valve, your not going from drum to disc, its just not needed. Guess you could add one at the owners descretion, but these guys do nothing BUT brakes systems and have for yrs, I tend to trust their opinion and not question every
little thing since I dont have half the brake experience or training they do.
You guys want a kit..??
