yea, i would do front and back with a 10mm...remember the rear is a little wider than the front, thats why the rear offset is +33.

do not use a 10mm spacer front and rear. you will be disappointed with the results. I would go with 15mm F and 20mm R. if you want to be a bit more aggressive then 20mm F and 25mm R, but no more than that.

Is there a difference from brand to brand or does it really not matter provided you get the size you want.

If it does matter, do you guys have brand recommendations?

I need to find a pair of 7mm ones to clear the front brembos.

Depends on the spacer type you are looking for. For bolt on, I would stick with eibach and project kics, for spacers with replacement studs, eibach, h&r and ichiba would be good choices
