Default Strange brake issue

I have a FastBrakes 11" kit on the front of my 92 Si. It uses 11" rotors, an aluninum caliper relocation block and Integra calipers.

The passenger side is giving me problems -- the caliper bracket mounts ok but when I tighten the 12mm bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket much more than finger the rotors becomes harder and harder to spin to the point that when they're tightened to spec the rotor will not turn at all.

The caliper slides over the pads fine.. no binding until I try to tighten those 2 12mm's.

Does anyone have any insight? I've got the car apart right now and would like to be able to tighten these bolts to spec and have the wheel be able to spin.

Thanks!

The caliper was bent or something... new caliper fixed it right up.

Many thanks to Brian @ FastBrakes who called me back within an hour on a Friday night to support a product I bought 4 years ago!
