After all of that was completed I now run an hd pad on the inner plate for the front, 2 standard pads in the basket for the rear, the nut a good 3mm from the end of the shaft (1-2mm from bottomed out), and I can go weeks without messing with the combo as there isn't enough slipping going on to glaze the pads.
