A few tips though if you wanna try it your self.
Grind till you can't see the dimples. you'll see what i mean when you look at the brakes.
Use spray paint to see where the wheel rubs on the caliper
Use the BIGGEST grinder you can find
Electric NOT air powered
Instead of grinding like you would regularly grind something use the edge of the grinding wheel to "cut into" the caliper, its faster that way
Use some kind of grinding grease or lube

Also if you only wanna do this ONCE put some new pads in all the way around. or else when you put in new pads later the calipers will move out a little and you'll have to grind some more.i'm in that positiin right now. i'm to lazy to do it just yet so i threw some spacers on for now. my lazy *** will get around to it sooner or later.
