Rear brake setup to match Brembo GT front??

Hi all, can anyone suggest a match upgrade for my Brembo Gt front brake kit. I have 10mm spacers at the front, should I match this at the rear??
I've heard of zimmermans being the closest setup, does anyone know of Brembo bringing in a rotor??

I dont have one, and if you locate the European car that claims they have a brembo rear to match we actually found it to be a misprint.

If that's not what you're after I can do you up my 11.75 rear kit as well. We'd need to match patterns and such, but I'd say it's doable.

Should of been clearer Alex, I have'nt heard of a rear Brembo kit(wish), but wondered what the best match would be.??
Should I just do pads, lines and oil or actually some rotors.....
p.s. I brake really hard!!!! and needed for minor street use but mainly track use?

there was a a write up in eruopean car claiming the rear kit they had was brembo. I went back brembo, and had it clarified that it was a typo , and infact not a Brembo kit. Just saving you the rumor dispersion. My bad

Who makes the 10mm spacers that you have and do they have the hub centric extension. I can't find a source that carries H&R 10mm spacers, all Turner carries is 5,15,20, and 30mm

The smaller one is probably not HC, there may not be enough meat there to do it. It would be a minimal overlap.

Why don't you take a 15 or 20 and turn it down to 10? Small local guy could do that for a six pack.

And if HC is critical to you be sure the wheels Alex has for you match the snout of the final spacer if you can. There by not using some of the snap in rings.

Toddtce,

thanks for the input excellent suggestion I will order the a second set of 20mm it has the HC and have it cut down. I do need the 20mm for the 17" S lites that I use in the winter, and use the 10mm in the summer with the R90s

Just be sure the shop takes it off the proper side....or you may lose the HC aspect.
