Caliper Relocation
I have heard tell of a company producing brackets that relocate the base calipers to allow for usage of Track sized rotors. They include all four brackets and Track sized rotors for something like $600. I did a search but came up empty. Does anyone know who does this? Also, what are your opinions on the modification?

I've seen some kits for Hondas, but never for a Z, I might be wrong but with larger brake rotors brakes should not be that vulnerable to fading - the heat will be desipated faster. Will it affect the brakes effectiveness? Don't think so.
You could try to make these brackets by yourself, this ain't no rocket science - find yourself a shop with a CNC machine, buy the rotors, measure everything properly and get them made.
This is a reference photo I've found for you:
This is a 330mm rear rotors upgrade for RX-7, as you can see the brackets are pretty simple.

i believe it relocates the stock caliper further away to fit larger rotors

Should've put up this one. I think the bias would be jacked because both the front and rear rotors are 13". Also the price of the two cheapest kits combined is $1039.83 not including pads or shipping. I have definitely changed my mind.
