I think I finally understand why they fit a C5 application the way they do. An ATS rotor is only 321mm in diameter vs the C6Z at 355mm. The caliper assembly must mount further inboard on the Cadillac knuckle. That comes out to 12.6", some wee rotors for sure. GM was pretty consistent with rotor thickness though. So the different diameter rotor has a longer, lazier arc than the smaller ones, that's why you have to clearance the edges. It's just dumb luck that it all fits the way it does
Maiting season. Back from the dead

I didn't want to notch the front of the frame for tie rod clearance, but after many attempts with different end links kits, I finally notched it. I only took out the bare minimum, and welded inside and out.
The new rear end should be here this week, after I get that mocked up and check the rear frame for clearance .
Once that's done I'll be ready to get the frame painted and start putting stuff together.

Finally getting somewhere, my rear housing showed up today. Time to get everything mocked up in the rear and get the tabs for the brake lines, and lower bag mounts welded on.
Put the rear axel and rear brakes on this weekend, just need to run the hard lines and rear shocks. Half way to a roller.
