I bet you would have a hell of a market if you ended up selling the brackets to mounts those calipers to a j-body hub.
It should be very simple bracket. It just matters whether hes going with a single CNCed piece or doing a multiple piece bracket like Im thinking.
I'm thinking mutiple piece initially eventho one piece would be stronger. I'm not sure about selling these unless I find a respectable machyine shop near where I live. I will happily share the demensions or mabye make some templates.
I really wouldnt sell them except to people you know since its a braking component and the last thing you want is some tard installing them wrong and losing brakes or dying/
Exactly my thoughts...I dont want to be held responcible for anything except my car. I certainly dont mind sharing info though.

This sounds really familiar .....
STI front and STI rears?????
O yeah ..... I did it already!!!!!
So let me know if you need any help!
STI Brake Conversion
The fronts are actually:
# of Bolt Holes : 5
Bolt Circle Diameter : 100 mm
Brake Rotor Diameter : 12.83"
Brake Rotor Thickness New : 1.81"
Center Hole Diameter : 2.29"
Height : 2.08"
The rears are actually:
# of Bolt Holes : 5
Bolt Circle Diameter : 100 mm
Brake Rotor Diameter : 12.44"
Brake Rotor Thickness New : .79"
Center Hole Diameter : 2.29"
Height : 2.65"
Please make sure your desired calipers will work with these rotor thicknesses.
I used Wilwood caliper, so I was able to spec out what I needed very easily.
PM me with any questions.
You will most likely need longer studs and a spacer for the front like I used.
GOOD LUCK!
Sorry, I mis-typed .....

Also, what are you going to do about the M11 knuckle thread?
Get ARP bolts like me, or do something else?

lmao, phil, almost 2 inches!
mind thinks faster than my fingers can type!
leave me alone! lol
The LS1 era camaro's have a front brake thickness of 1.18 and the mustang cobra rears have a thickness of .79 if I did the research right. The only difference between the cobra and gt rear calipers is the bracket for the thicker rotor, they make thinner pads for the thicker rotors.
Do you know the year, make, model, and sub-model your looking at getting the parts from?
1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28?
2000 Ford Mustang Cobra?
I will be able to better help you with this information.

Yes those are the correct years, I am hiving trouble finding accurate information and am not sure my ideas for the rears will work they way I hoped upon reading more. The rotors might be a tad too thick.
The front 04 STI rotors?
What kind did you get?
I love my EBC 3DG's
For right now I bought the cheapest drilled and slotted I could find for an 04 STI fronts and rears. Id like to eventually get some EBC's for it but right now I just want to get it together because the scored and grooved factory rotor is definitely hindering braking performance. I just threw on some new pads on the old rotors to get the car going and not wanting to really put any money into the stock brakes.
Who did you buy the rotors from, I would suggest just getting plain rotors because the cheap drilled and slotted are cheap for a reason. Plus the plain ones will give you just fine performance till you can upgrade and can easily be bought at any parts store.
03 Sunfire - Sold.
They are cheapy no names from ebay....Ive used them on a different application and dont last nearly as long as the name brand ones. But im content with that since its not a DD and I dont auto-x. Thanks for your concern though.
Rotors showed up today...pics later
Updatesss
Front rotors
Rear rotors
The caliper brackets wont line up as good as I had hoped but with some modification they will fit being bolted to the spindles using a bracket mounted on the slider bolts.
Were they will be cut to fit
Hopefully more pics soon
Hmmmm. So you have to cut them. Pain in the ass.
