I've been running with NASA HPDE at Summit Point for this weekends event called Summer Breeze. I was really picking up some speed and started compressing my braking zones down quite a bit, completely scorching my brakes. I've never had the slightest problem with my brakes before but after my third session of the day I brought the car back to the paddock and let it cool down. I had to drive the car ~10 min to the hotel, but on the way there I started hearing a really odd vibration/rattle from the rear right caliper. Pulled over and found that both caliper pins and the metal retainer were missing. The pads on that caliper were sunk down into the caliper resting on the wheel hub, scraping against it.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anybody who had an extra set or something even close I could use, so I had to leave the car parked in another state until I can get replacements. Has anybody else had this happen? I found an older thread:

Is this the solution other road racing/track day guys are using? I'm going to try and get a set from Mitsubishi tomorrow, does anybody know what the part #s are for the pins/retainer?

Check out here. I ordered parts from them last week and somehow got here(MD) within 2 days.

 

Yeah, I'm going to check all the local dealers to see if they happen to have them in stock (highly unlikely), if not I'll just order them off mitsubishiparts with next day shipping.
