lugs tightened in sequence and torqued OK. The wear on the rotor is little ridges...except right across the face. Not like a smooth almost perfectly flat rotor like I am used to seeing. Strange thing is that it is on both rotors and all 4 sides.

CHecked the slide pins last spring. Cleaned and lubed with a silicone caliper lube. Have not checked yet after winter, however already had the [censored] wear pattern by then. Pretty much started right from the get go with this set of parts.

What about other symtpoms of calipers gone bad?

Maybe is just a case of crappy parts, but I would like to be sure before I blow more money.
