new calipers aren't going to solve your issues.

Not that issue, but they might help and might make less noise.

I know you say mechanicals can >>>>>>> but have you tried a bb7?

Not sure. I've tried cable discs but generally shit ones. It's not that I don't believe they work, it's that I don't want cables on my bike now that I don't have to. No more fucking barrel adjusters, no cable breakages, not rusty inners, worn outers.

If the noise is from pad rub, which you're getting because you've pumped the piston out to try and correct the lever throw issue then new calipers will do bugger all.

I can see your point re cables but just seems like you're trading one set of (relatively easily fixed) problems for another which are not so easily fixed.

Noise from pad rub, noise from grit on the disc/pads, noise from pads or spring rattling in the calipers, noise from levers rattling, noise from me yelling at the all the fucking noise.
