Update: Over the winter I rebuilt both calipers, among many other things and have been rather pleased with braking so far this year. I've done about 600mi so far and they work great. I think I might be able to get a slightly stiffer lever if I bleed again but I can lock up rear(with too much ease...) and make the nose dive on demand w/o touching lever to bar so I'm going to probably leave it for now.
I didn't end up shimming the caliper bracket, I did some hammering and straightened it out against a slide ruler and found pretty good results. the caliper does still move slightly when I fully compress the lever but not nearly as bad as before.
