Hi Brian!
The DeeMaxx Disc Brake Caliper - Maxx Coating - Stainless Steel - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # DE52WR has stainless steel backing plates on the pads, but the caliper itself has the Maxx coating.
I believe what you are looking for is the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Caliper - Stainless Steel - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # DE58VR. This has the stainless steel caliper and the ceramic brake pads.
What happened to the original caliper?

Thanks, that helps a lot and clears it up. Original caliper locked up on the rotor on the outside pad. Inside has a lot of material remaining, the outside has very little pad material left. I feel like replacing is best, they are about 7 years old, in and out of saltwater only a few times each year.
