Will ST-R700 shims fit Ultegra levers?

Hi,
My bike has Ultegra 10-speed triple STI levers (ST-6603), and my hands are a bit small...so I'd love to get the levers a bit closer to the bars. Specialized appears to make some shims that will specifically fit Ultegra levers, but I was curious...does anyone know if the shims from Shimano's ST-R700 levers will also fit in the Ultegras?? I guess I'd prefer to stick with Shimano if possible, plus the Specialized ones are a bit difficult to find here in the U.S.

Thanks for your help

I've no idea about the shims, but another option is a compact bar. It puts the levers pretty close.

go to any bike shop that deals with specialized and they can order some for you. they're about $15.
they are not hard to get, especially in the US. It took about a week for mine to come in and I'm in Canada.
