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.

That's a good solution... too bad I didn't think of this before! Maybe I can take the rotors off, remove the rust, and high-temp paint 'em? Would that work too, do you think?

Oh, and for whatever it's worth - I put premium ceramic pads on all around, and I've been VERY happy with them. Stopping power is very good and to me, worth the small trade-off to have less brake dust. Maybe doesn't stop on a dime, more like a nickle but not quite a quarter

THat would work, just take a wire wheel to the areas to be painted to get rid of all the rust. High temp paint works fine. I'd probably do the same but I'll be at the coaters dropping the calipers off anyway (Red anyone??? ) so I figured just do it that way.
