I've actually run into this problem before on a 95 cobra. The brake pads that i used were too thick and wouldn't allow me to slide the caliper on. I guess it can also be possible that the aftermarket rotors could be too thick as well or maybe a little bit of both. I actually took a few thousandth off the rotor and shaved down the pads a bit to get them to fit. Pads were aftermarket as well.

I have yet to bleed the brakes...i will do that soon. And i will sand down the pads a bit more and see if that helps. I compared the new rotors to the old ones, and the new ones are noticeably thicker...
