My rear disc brake conversion is quickly turning into a nightmare. I got the backplate and e-brake components and e-brake cables bolted up and slid the rotors on, only to discover that once I bolt the caliper on it hits the rotor.

When I looked at the back of the rotor, it looks as if the rotor should sit further back, because there's a groove on the rotor where it looks like the backplate should be.

Here are a couple pics:





Am I correct that the rotor should slide back further than it is in those pictures?

I ask because the part with the wheel studs stops the rotor from moving back any further. I'm using the stock part(hub I think it may be called), and the backplate, e-brake components, e-brake, cables, rotors, and calipers are from a 5th gen.

stupid question but you made sure you bought a rear disc for the 5th gen?

Also maybe the e-brake inside is opening up or is doing somthing to stop it from going on. Id say pull it off an start over see if anything changes.. norm works for me.
