Default Cobalt GT Sports With Spoon calipers

Hey guys, just got the GT sports in the car, it was really hard to get them between the rotor and the caliper though. The rotors were just re-surfaced due to crappy AEM pads glazing the crap out of them. Well anyways.. I was taking the car out tonight to break the pads in but, when i was going down the road, I noticed the brakes were dragging really bad. I wasnt going fast, only like 15mph or so.. I'm just wondering what i should do.. should i take them out... sand them down until they fit without a problem between the rotor and the caliper.. or should i just leave them and wait until the pads wear down a little. Im just worried about glazing the rotors again. If you guys could drop a line i'd apreciate it.
