2G New Brembo rotors won't fit. (Rear FWD)

[Teezy]

Got my hands on a brand new front and rear set of genuine Brembo Sport drilled rotors for 100 on ebay. I have a 97 GST still FWD, and my front pair bolted right up. The rear pair however do not fit because of the e brake pads that are in the way. I tried adjusting the e brake from inside the car and on the adjuster itself, but even without the adjuster on the rotors still won't fit. Any idea as to why they won't fit? It was pretty exciting to have gotten them so cheap, but seeing that they don't fit really sucks. Any help is greatly appreciated.

on the bottom, where the shoes meet, theres a little geared wheel. you can turn it which will bring the shoes in.

Either their not the correct rotors, or you didn't adjust this geared wheel properly. What okm12346 posted should adjust the parking brake shoes.

If the old rotor is off, you should be able to see how it works, as you turn the gear, it expands/contracts a threaded rod sitting between the bottom of each shoe. This should move the shoes in & out. If you doesn't, things may be rusted in place.
