LS1 Pad\rotor too thick?

Anybody have problems with pad\rotor too thick? I've just installed the RPM suspension and have the spindle on with the LS1 CBR kit. I had to buy new rotors and pads since a previous board member decided not to send them with the LS1 brakes I purchased.

I got Baer OE replacement rotors 1.27" thick. Is the original rotor thinner? The piston is fully compressed and everything fits perfectly on the spindle if I just remove the one brake pad on the outside of the brake bracket and keep one brake pad on the piston side with the rotor.

I have the same brand brakes and pads in the back and those fit perfectly.

Nevermind. I checked the casting on both calipers and I was sold an ls1 caliper and a cobra caliper. Ordered a new one.

So said previous board member sent you a Cobra caliper when you purchased LS1?

He's was a member with high trader rating but has since sold all his stuff. The Cobra caliper was already attached to the spindle and to the RPM control arms so I didn't think anything of it. The other caliper was LS1. Didn't receive the front and rear rotors\pads either.

Chalk it up to 1 loss out of 10 years of buying stuff off board members.
