im with him ^^ i havent seen the 944 setups up close but thats somewhat concerning with the welds & that extra bit hitting the rotor, id suggest taking that part, or the whole kit back to where it came from & ask for an explaination why its like that, thats assuming the backing plate/caliper bracket is/was a factory made part?

the extra bit is the standard calliper mount. cylindrical extensions have been added (again, not by me) for non-standard calliper use.

If the extensions are just spacers they should not be threaded. If they are threaded then make sure the bolts you use go all the way into the original mounting holes. That would help some, but still not the safest.
