Here's another thing that might be good to look into, the backing plate. Are the pads that you guys are running have new backing plate or are you reusing the OEM backing plate.

Also, I know there's no current brake pad application out for the OEM caliper and many are running the TMS Cool Blue pads which are pads that have been custom cut to fit. Does the brake pad have play or abnormal movement when they're inside the caliper?

WAY, if I recall correctly, you're running some brake pads from some unknown AMG car correct? Does the pad have play and what back plating are you using? Same question to Scott and anyone who's having these issues.

It could be that the back plating are different enough that the pads move under aggressive braking that combined with excessive heat and heat cycles can be a bad combination. Could also cause physical pressure to the piston body.
