rear brake (will this work)?

Check out these pics here. The first is a pic of my new rear. The next (2) are the backing plates off another rear I have. They are both 10 bolts. The mounting locations on the rear look the same, so I know I can swap them over. Now my question is... am I limited to using the iron calipers with these backing plates??... or can I use other disks...(pbr's from a 92 camaro, 93-97 pbr's??) Thanks.

Those plates are for the iron calipers, PBR calipers will not bolt to them. If you need PBR plates let me know.
