i think you should contact the maker of your replica, as they can tell you what manufacturer made your spindles, and what brakes can mount up to them. You have to have the correct caliper plates to do this, or perhaps you have spindles that are already set with the correct bolt pattern for your calipers, distance to the rotor, all that sort of stuff, I would think this could be very different for each replica's front and rear end.

I am sure the people who make your replica can suggest reasonable alternatives for your braking, and part numbers for what fits what. Anything i could say would probably not apply to your set up. But remember, your car will weigh a good thousand pounds less than whatever car your brakes are sourced from so any fairly good brake will work very well on our sized cars. Even if you get a caliper for which there is no race pad available, there are companies that will custom make pads in various compounds for you. Panther, is one.

What is your replica?
