Very nice work. I'd buy a set as well.

One thing you don't want to forget though is the clamping force from the caliper which I see you still have the stock one mounted. Yes, you will benefit from the upgraded rotors, having more surface area to shed heat and reduce brake fade,etc. But the point of stopping fast would be well...just that, stopping.

Being that the two pieces work hand in hand so to speak, to benefit most, you need the clamping force from the caliper to achieve that stop on a dime high performance feel, which i'm pretty sure your after since you've put this effort in to make such a nice adaptor.

Has the thought crossed your mind in taking the project a step further to find an upgraded caliper to pair with those rotors and making the adaptor to fit those instead? There have been a couple of other threads i recall off the top of my head on the subject that Gavin had done awhile back and Dutch has worked on more recently. If you havent seen them yet, do a search and maybe you can get some ideas to take this further from what they've done so far if your interested.

Once again lookin reallll good. karma to you.
