    Ah yes I see it now...I should have read the whole thread. My google skills are not working well to try and figure out the pad wear surface dimensions of the DBA 2657S conversion rotor (170mm ebrake). I have 5x100 STI front rotors on the rear now so I will measure the wear area, see if I can try to compare it online, or maybe just buy a DBA rotor to measure. It seems like as you and others have done adding material to offset the Cadillac caliper could work. My question/concern is the front and rear pads are usually different sizes with the rears being smaller. I can't remember if this is a pad height or length difference. If the pad height is the same front to back then I think it will work just need to modify the OEM caliper bracket. Sucks that when I moved I tossed all of the rear brackets and ebrake stuff.

    Wilwood E-brake

    I used '04 STI rotors front and rear and the Caddy Brembos. With no hat section, you can't do drum E-brakes so I went to the Wilwood units. I think they might be kart brakes. I don't have the model number handy, but I did find them by searching the Wilwood site. The cables are also Wilwood. I used an aftermarket brake handle, Lokar I think. I'm very happy with this setup.
