Rear Brake - Caliper touches rotor

[COBRA_DUDE]

Just installed the rear FFR brake calipers and tightened them up...the problem occurs with the passenger side.....the caliper is right up against the rotor with no clearence.....so I back the caliper bolts out and added a spacer between the caliper and the caliper bracket to try and create some clearence between the rotor and the caliper....still no luck....annybody have this issue and if so...any suggestions to create some clearence issues.

Thanks,

Steve

Common problem. You do have to space them out with washers.

I created a similar post a few months back for the same problem, although mine rubbed on both sides. I ended up putting two washers on the side that rubbed, and got them spaced out as needed.

Did the rotors come from FFR as well?
I read at one point where there are some rotors that are configured slightly different, and simply eyeballing them wouldn't be enough to confirm the differences.
Something to do with offset, or the thickness of them at the axle hub? Been awhile since I read that.

Again common problem. See the photo and you'll understand where you need some washers/spacers.

Thanks guys for the responses...will just have to add some more washers...the rotors did come from FFR as well.
