Default cobra brake problems

I just put cobra brakes on my 91 coupe and the rear pads are only making contact on the top of the rotor. it appears to be doing this only on the outboard side of the rotor the inside seems fine. i tried putting a brand new caliper on and the same thing. machined the rotors a bit and seamed fine for 5 mintues and the horrible noise it makes is back. it looks like the noise is from the pad hitting the rotor, espcially around turns. if anyone has run into this and knows how to fix it, i would really appreciate some help.

Do you have the correct mounting brackets and the correct rotors?

The Anti-Moan Brackets just line up with the brackets you already have. I still think you have the wrong mounting brakets or rotors. BTW the rear Cobra Rotors should be vented.

Just wondering to see if you checked to see if you have the correct rotors?
