If you're thinking of the R1 rotors, check this out: http://www.cherokeesrt8.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35631 and speak to them. They should be able to steer you right with the pads if you get the upgraded rotors.

As for the coolant spray, I've read on some threads that a stant radiator cap works. I've not had any spray issues.

Are you in NYC?

Get the pads from Tire Rack. Just search for the 2006 Cadillac CTS-V rear brakes pads and get the Akebono rear ceramic pads they are like 90 bucks. Those are a must if you want to get rid of the rear squeal we all get. Also make sure you install them wit the shims and put some brake quiet on the back of the pads and use some brake lube for the 2 pins on each rear caliper.
