That sucked.

Spent the day swapping to stock pads for winter, except that turned into a fucking nightmare. Rear caliper pistons had melted dust boots and were seized... Even with the correct tool to twist them back. A lot of penetrating oil and brute force and I got them turned back in.

Went to do the front and found out front right caliper is almost seized solid. Pad is down to the backing plate, said pad was installed in ~August, barely has two track days on it. (left side pad has ~40% remaining) Oh yeah, dust seals are completely gone, pistons are cracked from the heat and there are signs that the pad has caught on fire at some point. (I'm looking at you Mission...) guess that smoke wasn't just hot brakes... Woops.

Replaced the front rotors as well. Tired, back is sore from lying on concrete all day, and frustrated. Will post pics of pads and rotors tomorrow...
