    Update

    Thanks for all the responses, really snapped me back to reality! Now I remember why I started doing all my maintence and repairs myself.

    Thanks for the rockauto tip mbeach, definately the place to get parts, bought my calipers from em.

    I pulled the right rear brakes apart and they weren't kidding.. Everything is definately toasted. Found the pad and it was a molten wafer, the rotor could be used to rough sand and the caliper and piston were welded together.


    So I ended up ordering the following:
    • Powerslot rotors all around
    • EBC Greenstuff pads
    • Stainless steel braided lines from Indy
    • Superwinch hubs
    • Both rear calipers
    • All new front bearings and seals


    And the best part is that it all cost me less than what the dealer wanted for rotors/pads/calipers/labor for just the rear

    Now the VX will just have to sit in the garage and wait, leaking brake fluid for a few weeks until I finish all my thesis research... Good thing there's a bus stop by my house.
