My calipers are trying to climb off the rotors!




List 

I have an odd problem I've never encountered in a dozen disc brake swaps. My calipers are climbing off the rotors and bending the heck out of the holddown hardware. Pics here:

All 4 corners are like this to the point that the calipers are coming unseated from their keyways. The brackets bend up into the wheels. I hammered them back flat for the moment but I'm at a loss to explain why they're doing this. 
Any ideas? 

Thanks 
Mark
