I am not sure what you mean adjust, try removing e-brake connection at the caliper so that it is out of the picture. Are you saying the pads rubbing?

did you make an adjustment at the handle at all? if you loose it up inside the car, that should free up some slack.

woops sorry you said that already lol only thing i could think of holding it up is they are positioned wrong with shortened the cable a bit, other then that, all it is is a cable that needs to be lengthened or shorted. Might need a longer cable.

As Spawne said, you may need a different cable. Your ebrake connection at the caliper is different than stock, and you may not be able to adjust to proper length, but may have to find a different cable that fits. Assuming that you can disconnect it altogether and then the problem is solved, except no ebrake, then it is most likely a length problem.
