Could you hit up an empty parking lot to do some testing? go in, let the brakes cool, try a panic stop or two... and warm them up, see when it grinds, what you stopping distance is.. etc.. bring something to put down (or use shopping carts) to accurately measure the distances.

Could be that it only feels like it's not stopping when grinding because you're backing down from the grinding. -- just a thought of course.
