Advice required on disc brake purchase

[drummerbod]

Replacing my rim brakes with discs.

Both hubs have 6 holes for a disc - that's the easy bit.

The front has mounts on the forks with a 75mm spacing and they face the rear - is this the standard?

The rear mount however has a spacing of 55mm. That's where I'm lost - all the sets I have been looking at seem to be the same for front & rear.

Any recommendations for 160mm sub £200 for both front & rear that will work with my setup?

The front will be post mount, so a 160mm caliper will bolt straight on. The rear will be IS and needs an adaptor.
As for brakes I have deore which are great for my needs.

Stick to Shimano - reliable and usually trouble free

I've got LX on my best bike and they're great, tektro on my daily, not so good, they squeal and judder in the wet.
adapters are pretty cheap if you shop around
