brake brackets for bigger rotors what you think??

so i have made these brackets at work for stock/stock bolting aftermarket calipers.

with these brackets youll be able to run:

stock oem calipers-11'' rotor, maybe bigger

q45/z32 calipers- 350z rotors(12.5'') or 350z brembo rotors(12.76'')

im not entirely sure yet but i believe a 13'' rotor will work with the z32 caliper.

im still doing some math and figuring other stuff out on sizing and what not.

but my idea is based off the fast brakes rear big brake kit and the brackets are based off the will wood brackets for their calipers

heres some pics do note these are still in the making and this is the first set:

Is that installed pic seriously how they're supposed to be setup? Talk about a death trap. If that's really 1/4" aluminum, I guess it really doesn't matter that the pad is halfway off the rotor, cause that thing is going the snap right off.

Actually, I'm guessing that's a mock up of the z32 caliper/z33 rotor setup. The z32 rotor is 1.1" bigger than s14, but Z33 is 1.5" bigger than z32. It's not going to work on both setups, not well anyway. Stop hacking together shit that is meant to keep you (and others) alive and do it right.

It's 1/4 in steel and that is the z32 rotor with the z32 caliper with the bracket. And like I said this is just a mock up and still working stuff out. And the will wood brackets are .316 thick

I think you should make brackets to mount rear Altima or bigger rotors with stock calipers,
if you want to make some money. Front calipers are pretty much covered here.
