Probably the best thing is look for a '05-'07 st in the wrecking yards or hit up the buy & sell section.

^yes. The FRPP kit was nothing but rear SVT brakes.

Be aware that SVT hardware may require slight modification on the 08-11's

Something about tapping/drilling the holes on the spindle bracket because the 08-11 have a different size.

Someone else will need to chime in to verify the accuracy of this. I'm doing my conversion next month and will find out for sure.
