... I'd argue that if you are trying to stick with 15" wheels you'll be hard
pressed to get better brakes than the UFOs ...

This is an SL500 caliper (4 piston) on, I believe the A8 rotor (he did two,
one with a MB rotor, one with an A8). For the smaller diamater wheel one,
he didn't exactly "machine" the UFO strut housing, he ground one of the ears
off the housing, and indeed did weld on the new bracket, so you can no
longer have any other functional brake setup without massive work. But
who'd want to.
I believe this one was to clear either most 16's or most 15's? Kent said he
has 16's.
Its a good setup if you have good resources. If you cant machine or weld,
I'd say forget it in most cases. I'm pursing the replication of this exact
setup, hopefully for 15" wheels though.
