Annoyingly the DA9000 is just listed as having a drop of 49mm, which isn't much use as what you want to know is the range of the drop. It doesn't look like you're actually super-tight on the top, so maybe you don't need a caliper with a really short drop. I've got a front Tektro R316 going super cheap which you could try. I recently sold a matching one for someone to fit to a super-tight fork and it seemed to work for them.

This is with a 25 which measure about 27.2. Yes @ffm you’re correct in that I think I need something with a smoother profile. In this pic it looks like the two pivot bolt sections will foul a bigger tyre rather than the actual arc at the top of the caliper. I’ll get the 28 mounted in a day or two to make sure.
