Warren,

Took about 4 hrs to do including making the adapter brackets. Would have taken longer if I tapped the brackets, but I Was lazy and welded Grade 8 bolts to the brackets. I have 17" rims from a 350Z (front offset: +30mm, rear offset: +33mm) the car.... it is very tight, but everything clears. Here is the parts list of what I used.
Self made brackets (free)
03 Mustang Cobra Rotors (13")- new ($100)
92 VR4 Calipers - reman'd ($180)
92 VR4 Front Brake hose - new ($30)
2 ft of 3/16 Brake line (free)
And now for pics:
A couple side notes for anyone who does this:
Brackets are made from 1/2" steel. No spacer required. Mount the adapter where the caliper bracket used to be, then mount the VR4 caliper to the back side of the adapter. I chose to weld on bolts, rather than tapping the adapter incase my holes weren't perfectly lined up. For this, I put the bolts thru the adapter and a nut on the other side, put it up to the knuckle to line up the bolts with the holes, tightened the nuts, then welded the bolts to the adapter.....same for the caliper.
The center hole on the rotor is bigger than the hub. I used tapered lug nuts to center the rotor, then drilled thru rotor and hub in 2 spots. Removed the rotors, tapped the hub, and countersunk the hole in the rotors so the tapered bolts were flush with the hat's surface.
I have Evo 8 calipers and rotors on the rear. Bolt on, on mod is removing the dust shield.
Pedal feel is great, and it stops on a dime.....HUGE difference over stock.
