Default Wilwood BBK scraping?

Too all Wilwood owners, My rear Calipers 'seem' to be scraping up against the Rotor all of a sudden. The pads look thick, but when you look at the caliper it is right on the rotor.

Has anyone else had this issue? I have the BBK from Fastbrakes.
I will post a close up picture in the morning, but was just wondering.

Thanx

Isn't that normal for anykind of disc brakes that the pads touch the rotor slightly even when not braking?

I don't think there should be a visual gap between pad and rotor...?

There shouldn't be a visual gap. If it's scraping and you have the right pads then are your pistons releasing all the way?

Sounds like he's saying that the caliper itself is hitting the rotor. If so, you might have something installed incorrectly.

Yeah it looks like the Caliper itself is leaning up against the rotor, I am taking it to MRC to have them take a look, I will post the results...
