Default Rotor Offset?
Recieved my new rotors from Brakemotive. Went to install them today with my brand new OEM calipers and found that the inner edge of the rotor rubs the caliper body. Thought at first I was having a mini stroke or something, disassembled everything, reinstalled old rotor. Old rotor does indeed travel further out then the new one. Anyone run into this? I really dont want to shim the rotor to center it. Thank's.

Rear rotors have a different offset than fronts.

something else that may help, push the brake pedal, it centers the caliper over the rotor

I don't think that will work for a C3, the calipers are fixed.
