wonder if you sand them down every so often? Just replaced both front and back as my rear had deep grooves in it from lack of care and worn-out back brakes.
Also, changed the front caliper as I was too frustrated with its performance of it and sticky pistons - no matter what I did. Was very frustrated with it and decided to just get a new one. Only realized that there is a rebuild kit for them and its quite easy to rebuild them. Truth be told, I also snapped a mounting bolt on it with my f***up torque wrench. Lots of lessons were learned in this work.
