Yes. At this point I'd rather rebuild the originals, but they are still on the car and my roommate doesn't want the car to be down for more than a weekend while I'm rebuilding calipers (the brake job would realistically take a weekend). But I suppose we could replace the wheel bearings, rotors, pads, and parking brake shoes while not messing with the calipers one weekend, and then remove the calipers and rebuild, paint, and reinstall the next weekend--though he wants plenty of time for the paint to dry before we would reinstall them.

For my personal car, I bought brand new ATE calipers and the ceramic pads fit, even though I think they were the 17.5mm thick ones. They worked right the first time.
