Mark- The bearing issue has eveybody looking for a solution.. I got two things I am working on that might help..
Working on designing a housing end that will use angular contact call bearings & doubling them up with a beefed up bearing retainer.. In theory it should have about .001 to .002 end play...
Have a meeting next week with Kenny Sapper from Speedway Engineering.. Working on getting a Street/Race floater built.. The parking brake will be challenge.. rotor adapter is easy.. can even float the rotor..

My last 7 cars have had this problem....
Tri Trip
Red Witch
Thrasher
Mule
Camaro X
Jackass
Red Devil (The knock back is good on this car but it is still new)
I'm very close to going to a full floater to solve all this problems.
Knock Back
Oil leaking tube ends
But it induces some problems of ABS sensors, park brake system, wheels, cost and complexity
I have gotten used to left foot braking to pump up the brakes going down the straights. 
The standard tapered roller bearing Ford big bearing seems to have about .020" - .050" end play after track use. This is what causes knock back of opposed piston calipers (4 piston).
I'm going to work on a better design to help fix the problem.
