So my cars new name is "cant get right".
Long story shot, pads were worn, decided to do rotors and pads...bought brembo rotors and green stuff pads for the rear. "AWESOME" I say...then I find THIS shit.....

I think the problem is the e-brake failed inside drivers side caliper....not sure if this is correct...I could use some help...never seen this before honestly...

:picardfp:
pads are fucked I know..but can I salvage the rotor? its a brembo and it was on the car and turning for a total of 15 miles...would it be worth tryin to get it turned?

my guts telling me to just fuck it and replace it...but I mean...if can save a few bux then I would like that very much.

-thanx in advance

If you can't spin the rotor. Rotors are normally okay if they're only turned once. After that you'll have to replace them. Maybe something got caught in between them? Did you check the brackets that hold in the pads? They might be touching the rotor and are what caused the scoring.
