Default Problem with Rotor Instal...

I got my new rotors/pads put on today, but there was a problem with one of them. The lip on it was rubbing against my caliper so the guy had to grind it down to keep it from making a ton of noise. I got these from wholesale on the group/sponsor buy and it ended up costing me a lot of money since they were charging me hourly.

Anyone ever have this problem with their rotors? This is the first set I've bought, the ones before came stock on the car

I got a set from them and the place that does my brakes said that they didnt fit right. He only tried the right front one though. Was that the one that had to be grinded?

Nope. Still got them. I was going to have someone else take a look.
