Akebono pads question

So I installed my reman calipers and pads today. Everything went smoothly except the last pad I put in. It has a bit less play than the rest, perhaps due to the fresh powder coat from the calipers. I greased all pads up a little bit in key places, so hopefully there isn't any issues. Did anyone else feel this way on a pad install? Did it work out fine for you?

the pads should move freely. that being said if its only binding a little when you move them by hand, as long as the the pistons are not sticking it should just wear away whatever is binding over time, if you want to be sure you could always file it down a little where its binding...

I think I'll try it out first and see how it goes. Messing with the pads is not too hard on these, which is neat.
