Eating Rotors-Made some Mistakes-Need Advice 900 1993

About 6 months ago-brakes were shuddering, so replaced rotors, pads. Since struts were going too, did those, ball joints, tie rod ends, and strut rod bushings. Put in the IPD poly bushings.

Have shuddering while braking again. Probably rotors. Problems encountered during the last brake job was that it was freezing cold, so my cleanliness was less than perfect and had difficulty with cleaning and greasing the slide pins. Also, the left slide anti-rattle clips were loose, causing a lot of problems getting the pad in, so in frustration, I just pulled them and put the new pads in.

So, I am going to replace pads, rotors, anti-rattle clips, bushings (I don't like IPD poly-sorry, IPD second bad experience), and carefully clean and grease caliper slides. I'm also going to use a dial-indiacatr to find the most even rotor positionaling on the hub. And I'm going to wire brush those clean again.

Any thoughts on what I might be overlooking would be appreciated.
