AFAiK the 20 degree 'step' in the caliper pistons (and orientation in
said step) is for anti-squeal purposes.
I always put the pistons in the 'proper' way, but honestly doubt it
makes much difference.
But, what do I know ... I've only been doing this for about 28 years
or so now ... Yikes

One other thing comes to mind. When you rebuilt the calipers, did
you pay attention to the orientation of the pistons in the
calipers? They are supposed to be oriented in a certain direction.
I don't know if that's an anti-squeal thing, a pad wear thing, or a
piston retraction thing, but if you're having problems, it's
probably worth paying attention to.
