hey doods, wonder if anyone can help

i'm about to purchase some new brakes for my other half. at the moment she's got my old Avid Juicys - they've been shite from day 1 - and i'm looking to replace them with some deore M575

her forks & frame both have iso mounts. on CRC the deores come with post mount brackets and you get the discs separately

am i right in thinking i can just use the avid discs and the exact same avid brackets? they are 185mm and 160mm. will these be compatible with the shimano stuff?

Doesn't work the other way around though, Avid calipers with Shimano adaptors can be hit and miss.
