I got my self some 6 piston brembo brake calipers from work today which I had saved from the core bin cause we dont sell calipers so I figure it would make a good brake upgrade for my firebird, Now they had come off a 2011 bwm 135i and have 13. something rotor on the frt, I know brembo had a kit with 6 piston calipers on 14" rotors before and I had searched but couldnt find the mounting brake from brembo, just wounder should I just build my own brackets or dose any one know where I can find any.

To mount them on your car a custom bracket would be required; not even optional. Also have to find a rotor that will work and a rim.
Be sure to make the bracket stout enough though; look at the brackets for the C5 brake conversion, that's probably similar to what you're going to have to build.
Look online and find all the specifications about the calipers that you have; rotor diameter compatibility, mounting bolt pattern, Rotor thickness compatibility, etc.
