If so can you post a few pics of your axle/brake setup so I can see? I think I have a fix for you. Or send me to a link you have already posted.
Thanks for the reply,below is the link where I posted the caliper problems. Please note that theses photos taken are from previous brake kit, which I replaced with new floating caliper kit (140-12209)from wilwood. Unfortunately I have disassembled the floating brake kit and removed the axles, so I don't have any photos showing how the floating calipers are positioned on the rotor.

However, even with floating caliper kit, the calipers were not centered on the rotor and there is no chance for the rotors to slide on the silding pins as the outboard pads are binding on the rotors. In fact, the outboard pad on the passenger side is a very tight fit making the rotor difficult to rotate.

Even the axle splines are about 1.25" through and don't think they are bottoming in the carrier.
