brake disc's dont fit? happened to you?
i ordered a set of rotors for my FD. the discs dont seem to fit well in the calipers with new pads. i had to use my old worn pads to get the rotors to fit. (had to even tap with a mallet. has anyone ever had this problem before? heres the link to the site I ordered the brakes from.

you know that when you compress one side, the other side tends to pop back out...
compress one side, swap the pad on that side, then compress the other.
see if that way works.
either that or take the lid off your brake fluid reservoir

Some new pads don't fit with new rotors and a bunch of shims. Some pads come with their own shims (sheet of meterial on the backing plate) so they don't fit with both sets of stock shims.
It is unlikely that the rotor is too thick (does not meet spec).
