Now I need to note here Im not an engineer or in the business to make or sell brake parts, so dont come crying to me if you try to copy a set of these on your own and something falls off your car, Im simply passing along some info on what worked for me







These measurments should be a good stating point, honestly I cant remember if this bracket was the EXACT one that I made that fit the best, luckily these are so easy to make that if you get a metal shop to cut you a dozen legnths of bar stock you should be able to measure/drill 6 sets of these in an afternoon. One more point on these I couldnt realy show in the diagram, when you bolt this bracket to the Brembo caliper you will have to grind down the top edge of the bracket a bit and cut two small notches where you see in the pic, this is to clear a couple ribs cast into the caliper, you will see once you get to it, have a die grinder or bench grinder handy.







Anyways sorry for the late follow up, I sold the S14 last year and have moved onto bigger and better wastes of my money/time







BTW, now that I got you all hot on finding a set of used brembos for under 1K Im going to drop this on you. You can buy Z06 billet 6-piston calipers BRAND NEW FROM GM FOR $200 EACH!!!! and it looks like it has the same bolt spacing as the brembos, haha no Im not going make brackets for these for you guys, but it would be pretty hot to see someone do it

Has anyone got the right measurements on this because I checked out the measurements and the bottom holes check out because its 43mm + 100mm + 43 mm=186mm which is the total length of the bracket but if you add up the top holes you get something else, 17mm + 155mm + 17mm= 189mm so I was wondering if anyone fixed that or not because i made my brackets and I had to re-drill the holes.
Also the .5inch thickness is appearently too much for my evo brembos and I'm not sure why. After everything is bolted down the caliper hits the rotor and wont let it spin. I was wondering if anyone had this problem or just me, I'm in the process of grinding down one side of the bracket to make it 17/16 inches thick instead of the .5 which hopefully will be good enough to where the rotor spins freely.
