ST Rear Brakes Issues

Hi all!

Our ST's rear brakes started getting an intermittent scraping noise about 50-70 miles ago - especially after heavy downhill braking (currently at 200 miles - got the bike this past November).

Finally took it in to an LBS yesterday, and they pointed out that there is little to no allowance/tolerance on the rear washers. It was hard to get a gap between the washer and the rotor while still keeping the pads from contacting the rotor. They couldn't understand why Specialized would leave so little room and recommended I reach out to customer support to see if this specific bike was put together incorrectly.

While I wait for ridercare to get back to me, I figured I'd ask the hivemind if y'all have any ideas. Learned more about this bike here than anywhere else! Thanks in advance.
