I could work up similar brackets for use of the F8x calipers on our platform if someone wants to supply a rotor and caliper for the project. Furthermore if enough people are interested in a group buy I would be happy to machine them for everyone as well. Just did a small run on some 135 - e36/46 caliper retrofit brackets last week they are out for hard anodize but here is a pic of one in raw state, along with the 365/345 E9x brembo brackets re-engineered.

I'm I reading this right? Are you planning to replace your two piece Brembo rotors with OE F8x rotors? That makes zero sense to me. You are downgrading. Your Brembos are a lighter, true two-piece floating rotor. I realize that the OE GTS rotors were lighter than the comparable Brembo version but I doubt that is the case with the F8x rotors.
