You need nutted brakes, right? If you do, recessed brakes aren't going to do the job. You can always return them if the 2 mm proves to be a problem. I've used a file before on brakes to move the shoes a bit farther down; you could try to do the same thing going up.

Edit: looks like Harris Cyclery sells them individually,
