Good points, I should have given more detail. The place I take them to is a manufacturer that has its own machine shop that my friend is the foreman at. (Run on sentence ) They machine them about 75% of the time.

As for the calipers, I do check the slides because of our wonderful Wisconsin winters require them to be de-sludged and regreased pretty regularly.

I'll try the ceramic pads on the front in spring.

Thanks for the advice.
