that will be plenty strong enough, to be fair mild steel is pretty god damn strong, alot of manufactures like A.P use Alum brackets. so you should be fine bud.

Just don't go to Ford for the discs.... there was a guy selling Brembo discs on RSOC (same discs as Ford just without the Ford tax....lol)
