Default 4 piston calipers convertion

I was going to put this on DIY but most people dont have access to a CNC machine like i do... after the coilover i wanted a 4 piston calipers to go with the coilovers performance, its not really my idea just saw it in Japan and applied it here, main problem was the rotor so basically i end up trying out different rotors like mini cooper s and 240sx but end up using a integra GSR. this is also my first design from scratch to prototype...

lol but its ok, i heard more funniest comment than his question. but for real when i showed this RX7 conversion to my some people here in san diego they are so stupid, some people are saying " RX7 calipers are weak its not going to make any difference" or "thats not even a toyota part why will you put it in your car?" or "i rather pay $2000+ and get the real thing (talking about the greddy big brake system)" people now are so trusted on bolt on parts that they forget the real tunning is all about.

for got to answer this question, well i decided not to do this as a DIY cuz, it takes more than a caliper bracket to make this work well just like what me and 89y49rexsi talk about in the PM. you'll need to know if your proportioning valve will be ok with it, some chassis will need a bigger or better brake master cylinder. sometimes the pedal feel is weird so you'll need an adjustable proportioning valve, i just wanted to show that 4 piston calipers can be done.
