Gen1: Front Rotor carrier ring issues...

Since the bike is apart I though I would paint up the middle of my rotors since they are scratched up... After inspection, to my dismay I found the carrier ring washers missing, or some starting to come out. The carrier ring itself looks good, its the small washers inside that are gone. This makes the carrier ring loose. There are 3 or so washers missing from each one. To me, outside of being more noisy, I don't think its something to worry to much about. BUT!!! I am no rotor expert by any means so I ask this to everyone. Is it something I need to worry about???

Here are some pics...

How many miles are on the bike?

You may have a warped rotor, or most likely a sticky caliper!
 
I just had both front calipers off the bike, drained, and each puck was free moving. ...but that could be because I freed them myself, by me moving them completely in. A couple were a little tougher than the rest, but once they were moving, they moved OK.

There are 20k on these.
 
I would look for a new set!
Did you have any pulsation in the brake lever?
