Help with StopTech Big Brake Kit

I have a 2007 Acura TL Base (Automatic 3.2L). I ordered a BBK from XLR8, but when I was not able to put on the new rotor due to the center hole diameter being too small. I have some EBC rotors on front that fit on there fine. The EBC rotors have a 64mm center hole, the StopTech ones have a 62mm center hole.

I have been emailing XLR8, but was told that they had sold a bunch of kits and have not had this problem.

Has anyone here ran into this?

I have ordered from them before without a problem.
I'm getting close to returning this thing. The help is lacking and it's not like I can keep taking time off to deal with this.

If you have access to a local machine shop, could you have the 62mm center hole of the StopTech's machined out to 64mm?

I talked to a shop and they said they could do it, set up time and balance maybe an issue. If this was a kit I put together from junk yard parts I would be totally ok with having a shop modify the parts. But my problem is this kit is being sold for my specific this car i shouldn't have to modify the parts this much. Also future replacement parts would also have to be modified. I don't want to have to keep modifying parts and would like to just buy the correct part.

There is only minimal surface rush on the hub.
