Default Fastbrakes Stoptech kit install problem.

I am having my Fastbrakes installed today and the guy just called me and said that the prelude calipers that are going on are really tight fitting. He is afraid of the calipers hitting the rotor. Anyone have any ideas on this? He has to shim the calipers to get them to fit.

Thanks for any help!

I had the 1" thick ITR upgrade up front, and I put on 2000+ prelude VTEC calipers.

I had to make a washer that was .050" thick I think to space the caliper away from
the hub. placed the washers over the bolts connecting the caliper to the hub...
there is an actual picture on my homepage.. where is that thing....here it is, sorry
its HUGE!!!!! see the shiny silver washers?

it is a tight fit for the 1" rotor... but it will fit with proper shims on 2000+ calipers.

Thanks man! I think I am just freaking a little. Wasn't sure if the calipers I was using are right. Hopefully everything will come together as nice as yours are!
