Alright, so I got some old rotors turned, got the AXXIS pads installed, and burnished in very thoroughly. Going by the books this time. Giving the brakes some time to cool off, and then i'll be out to test them a bit more. I have a good feeling about things this time
After 3-4 brake jobs in the last year, I'm ready for these to last a while.
I closely inspected my calipers, I really can't imagine anything being wrong with them. The sliders move like butter, the pistons move smoothly and easily were pushed back in to make room for the new pads. I'm gonna rule them out.
