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...

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...
