Default quick easy brake upgrade?

I'm thinking about picking up a set of brake rotor from a 2011 Camaro (14") $73.99 at Autozone.

Should be able to slide them right on the hub and make a " dog bone" bracket to move the caliper out to where it needs to be.

any thoughts?

If only I could use the CNC mill and latest here at work I could make some very nice one off rotor, brakes and calipers ( but I don't want to risk loosing my job, getting thrown into military prison, or shot by MPs lol
