Is the whole "filing down the pad" issue not just down to the corrosion build up behind the stainless steel slide plates?
A couple of years ago I removed the plates on mine (no easy), cleaned off the corrosion and now the pads fit nicely. I've tried Pagid, Brembo and original OEM to see if there was any improvement in the braking but there didn't seem to be. All slid in easily enough though.
