Rear brakes with ATS fronts?

MY front brake upgrade plans include ATS calipers and the bigger rotors, but what do you suggest for the back that looks compatible, visually?

The 2010-15 camaro V6 rears are a good match, 12.4 rotor w/ single piston floating caliper, you need a 17 with some spoke room for those however

I found a very cool caliper on rock auto, p/n ac delco 1722503 that is under $200. It looks like a nice match for the ATS ones for the front... thoughts?

Only thing is is that caliper uses a 14.4 inch rotor. The Gen 6 camaro ss rear caliper is less $ and uses a 13.3 rotor, so it actually would be a closer match

You also don't really want a fixed rear caliper, since the axles have c clips there is some play in and out and this can cause pad knock back issues.

Do you have a part number for the Gen 6 ss rear caliper?
