As do I Shane,I did the same thing very shortly after you left. Completely got rid of the rattling and there is NO issue with the pads being pushed out. It's all about the spring tension.. very little, just enough. |

....or just change your fluid, lube your pistons, and make your brakes work properly in the first place.
I guess I'm just the sort who likes to fix the root cause, as opposed to sticking a band-aid on the symptom. |

Started with PM anti-rattle springs (0051-1800):
Chop both ends with grinder and ready to go:

Now that's the correct way to stop loose pads from rattling in a caliper. Very similar to some automotive setups. |

"i" use NAPA ANTI PAD RATTLE(comes in a orange container and is orange)...
Dab a little on the caliper pistons, put the pans back in, spin the wheel and apply the brake ...
Let it dry ...
When it dries the pads are stuck to the pistons which when they retract pulls the pads away from the rotor which also reduces pad drag ... |

Less noise but still I can hear rattling.
Fact is that pads and pins held up together by spring plates move around together in the calipers. The design was wrong. 
Ok, spring plate should push pads against calipers. I need to have my angle grinder fixed first... |
