Try these guys, they should be able to re-build your old calipers

Don't do that.

When the pads wear down, the caliper Pistons will quite literally FALL OUT!

...along with the brake fluid and any brake performance will instantly disappear.

fixed.
As Chris suggests, there are very good, clear technical reasons why you cannot fit solid discs to vented calipers.

Fitting solid discs to vented calipers is totally and utterly retarded

Merely thinking about such lunacy is completely moronic.

In other words... No. No. And, er, no.

And to answer your second question, the TC on dbw cars is two stage... first cuts fueling, second actively brakes the rear wheels. Solid rear discs won't tolerate getting the shit kicked out of them for very long...

Are we sure it's not brake slipping wheel, then cut fuel? ( I m just technically interested)

I can't remember if it brakes first and then puts the light on when it cuts the fuel, the other way round, or if it does it all simultaneously
