Default Fitting AP 4 pots

I fitted ap racing 4 pot disc s and calipers today (escort cos)
fitting was not a problem.
after road testing the car. i herd a noise comeing from the wheels
after investigateing i noticed the caliper was touching the disc.

to remedy this i had to put a washer behind the caliper carrier to move the
caliper away from the disc. is this right. any one else had this problem?

Yes, when i did mine to centre the caliper over the disc I needed to put spacers on both bolts on the nearside and on the top bolt on the offside.
