Magura MT8 uses magnets, no separating spring. Other MT models probably do too

I currently have a Shimano SLX on the front of my belt-drive bike. The pads rattle around quite a lot when going over bumps. Spreading the split-pin reduced this a little, but it is still annoying as I want the bike as quiet as possible.
Are there any hydraulic MTB brakes out there that hold the pads a bit more securely?>
It might be age dependant but I'm pretty one of the holes the split pin goes through is threaded on SLX brakes, you might be able to find the little threaded rod that screws into this that is supplied with some brakes somewhere, it'll have a part number you can search if you dig up the shimano tech document. You could try taking out the pad separating spring and spreading that a bit to help keep things more secure. I'm pretty sure shimano brakes are the bestest ever so getting something different due to rattly pads will feel like a downgrade. (If you are selling and it's a left hand lever then dibs.)
