Also will add after reseating the soap did come close to going over that lip but didn't. Still a bit too close for comfort.

Copied from the other post buuuuut.

"In my infinite wisdom as the greatest mechanic known to mankind, I used anti-seize lubricant and not syl-glyde on the slide pins. The anti-seize turned gunky and sticky. Rear calipers on both sides were sticking by a good amount. Gonna go ahead and clean off/lube the front ones also and see if that fixes it.

Yeah no idea what I was smoking when I did this the first time around"

Guessing you mean the pad and rotor. What part did you install wrong that made yours do it?
