Hi All,   Im finally reassemblying my suspension and not much left to do but 
brake work.  My front calipers came with two shims between the caliper and its
mounting boss. Upon reinstalling them I noticed the caliper is not centered 
over the rotor. It is so far off that it is almost touching the rotor on the 
outside and
a large gap on the other side of  the rotor.  It seems like I should remove 
both of them or at least one to center the caliper.  Did all P cars come this 
way  or did a previous owner try to adjust for pad wear? Seeing how these 
calipers are  of the fixed type it just seems logical to me to have them 
centered.What are  your thoughts? By the way, these are stock brakes. Thanks 
in advance!
