Default 68 camaro with dse quadralink what rear brakes?

Hello I'm having trouble fitting a rear brake caliper onto the discs I purchased for my camaro. I bought a rear disc brake kit from summit but the calliper is huge and it either hits the quadralink brackets or the cars frame! I need the e-brake as well so I'm just wondering what some of you guys have done for rear brakes?
Thanks

What housing ends does it have on it. DSE normally installs Torino ends on their housings. Never had an issue.

Unfortunately I don't have the Torino ends I have the 12 bolt Chevy ends. I'm wondering if the offset of the rotor is moving the caliper to far inward?

sounds like the T-bird/Mustang set up that they have. the bracket clocking and caliper does suck.

I'd move into a 2000+ Camaro rear set up.

I don't know the exact width but it has been narrowed 3" per side. The car does have the dse mini tubs as well.

Did you buy the rear end complete? Should have approximately 2" of the axle sticking out of the housing. What brake kit did you get from summit?
