Sounds like u have the wrong rotor installed. Could be as simple as using the Levin spindles complete ( if you cab find them) but don't try to fit it on the stock spindle as it touches. Could maybe try a 101 spindle with the Levin caliper as well as 101 rotors. I have complete 101 spindle on my ae91

Because the caliper is bigger you need to put a wheel spacer I think about 6mm behind the rotor to center it; if that's where it touching
