Need Brakes, 7th Gen Part Fitment Question Options

[Fastbird]

Ok, hit the wear indicators on the Celi yesterday, NOT going to drive around listening to squealing for too long. Here's the skinny of what I'm looking at/thinking:

Pads -- Either going to be EBC Redstuff, or Hawk HPS. Whichever I find a better deal on. I've used both brands and trust both, so that's that for that.

Rotors -- Sadly, there's just NOT a good bunch of options out there for the 6GC. Having seen the 7th Gen brake thread though, and knowing that the 7th Gen front rotors are 3mm thinner than the 6GC GT rotors, I'm thinking of popping a decent set of 7th Gen front rotors on the car.

But......

What about the 7th Gen REAR brake rotors??? Are those the same at the 6th Gen GT in terms of diameter and offest?

And.....going to have the calipers and brackets powdercoated red while they're off the car.

Oh I wish I had the cash for a big brake kit upgrade on the front if not both.

I found this chart in the 7th Gen Brake Thread:



According to it, the only difference in the 7th Gen Rotor to 6th Gen GT Rotor is a .5mm overall height difference, and a 3mm thickness difference. The height difference will be negated by the rotor thickness.

The Rears however, have some differences. Diameter is the same, but height has some issues. The 6th Gen is 9mm taller overall than the 7th gen rotor. Other than that, they're the same.

So I'm left wondering, since I've yet to do brakes on a 6th Gen.......on the rears, does the rotor simply come off without any bearings, just a pull and replace unit? If so, would a 9mm spacer be able to be used to push the rotor out a tad? Not that the rears are a big deal to me, but I'd rather have a full matching set of rotors than two slotted or something up front and two standard blanks in teh back.
