ebc sport rotors, slotted/dimpled Issue?

Yesterday I got around to doing my front brakes with a set of EBC gold rotors ptno. gd1313. I did my break in and went for a bit of a drive last night, but they don't feel much better than stock if any. I got to looking today and, without removing the wheel yet, it looks like the pads aren't even in full contact with the rotors.

I'm going to do a brake bleed today and try to investigate this further with the wheels off, but I'm just prodding for now to see if anyone has tried these and had the same issue, and how much of an issue is it really?

Thanks guys!! I'm really not wanting to buy another set, since I'm still trying to get the rears funded too, but if I must then oh well.

Got it!

Tge rotors are an inch too small stamped with the right part number and everything down to the website and box. Just not working.

I'll call the supplier tomorrow and have it dealt with asap.

here's an update for anyone that is concerned

I emailed EBC directly and told them the situation, he asked for my address and a copy of the receipt so He can get a new set pushed through to me. I plan on sending back the bad ones to show them proof of the error, but it appears that they are 2.0 rotors that got stamped wrong with 2.5/2.3 specs and packaged the same.
