Dang it!

Front/Right brake was dragging - I thought all the black dirt was from a blown shock. Nope - brake was noticeably hotter than the left side.

I had already purchased new Centric Rotors and Hawk Pads to do the fronts and rears at 100K miles (I am at 96K) . I had bought the rear rotors off a forum member and bought new front rotors...

I removed the front caliper and bracket (and put a fresh coat of paint on... ) and was assembling all the bits for the brake parts swap over.

I find the left and right rear rotors... and pads for for front and rear... I found the front(?) rotors... but wait! They look like.. the rears! Dang it! I have four rear rotors...

F/R rotor was still good - so I re-used it.

Now I have to buy new Centric front rotors and... sell the extra rear rotors...

But the brake isn't dragging now, I just properly lubed the pins...

Stock calipers. Just a BBK (Better Brake Kit)

Upgraded rotors and pads FTW!

All four rotors installed, Hawk pads installed, and I refreshed the red paint on the OEM calipers!

WooHoo!

Looks great/stops better!

Now to post up those extra rear rotors and OEM Mitsu pads I won't be needing...
