Thanks guys,
The car is parked now for the winter, and I will have access to it again in the spring. I may take the brakes off to inspect everything again, however, from what I remember, the brackets are the same on both sides. They should be interchangable and symmetrical. Maybe I got a botched bracket on the one side, so I'll disassemble in the spring and look. Otherwise, I drove all summer with using hardened washers as spacers and I did not have any issues.

Seeing as how nice its been out, the car is actually still on the road for another week to get the e-test done as well. However, it's actually my father's car and he's pretty uptight about it. I can't believe its going on 10 years old now, and it looks like show room condition clean.

Wow, I should have bitched out Bear 2 years ago, I thought I just had one of those anomalies. 
I have easily accessible machine shop capability so I just had that problem bracket machined.
Sorry for your trouble, at times I wish I would post more so when you do the search there are suggestions. :o
Spacing the bracket with washers......I would not be able to sleep!

Here is where it is rubbing:
As you can see they are the stock calipers, and the rotor is stock thickness. How can I get the caliper to move back slightly? I don't want to space the spacer with washers. I shouldn't have to do that if the driver side was fine. I know the calipers slide.. I might try adjusting the pins? I'm at a loss here for why it would be like this.

Even if I had machine capabilities, I needed more material so machining wouldn't help. The washers don't really bother me. If I was using several washers to space the bracket a half inch or something I would be worried. One hardened washer won't make a difference. The car isn't tracked or anything.
Didn't think this would be a common problem, but apparently some others have experienced this as well... weird.
