That is most excellent to know. I noticed the warp on the pads of my 450, and wondered about it, thinking it might be something like that. Stanley

Replace only. Rebuild caliper/s as needed. Aftermarket pads can be better than OEM. Please avoid sintered metallic pads. The OEM are sintered and cause huge wear. # Rotors are not flat, turning them makes them flat and end result is below minimum spec thickness. Rotors have a deliberate warp to make pads retract and not drag. Very different from auto think. Calipers "float" and track the warp without problems.
