I replaced them too. The ones that were on it were warped, and my new rotors are getting there already also.

Sounds like the calipers are binding.
Is there excessive tension on the parking brake cable? The brake handle should come up and fully engage after x number of clicks. (I wanna say 6, but I could be thinking of another car)

your calipers could be siezed. What condition are the boots in?
Snoop with a 510?

the boots are ehhh... when I had to push the piston thing back in, it looked like they used pliers to turn it, and it had rips around the outside of it.
The rubber piece around the piston thing is what your talking about right adrian?

yup.it's probably already seized man... either get them rebuilt or find some used ones for cheap. Same thing happened to me... my passenger rear's boots torn and seized... I'm loosing pad, plus my wheel gets all dirty quick because of the brake pad dust. Luckily I found a dude nearby that sold me both his rear calipers for $5.

awww dude you are lucky! Are the SE's and the base rear calipers the same?
The other day, I drove home from work, (maybe a 5 minute drive) touched the disc, and burned my finger. Touched the front, not nearly as hot.

well the difference is between ABS and non ABS, whether or not you have an SE or not. Do you have abs?

I don't, I just talked to a dude that said that he'll sell me his from a wrecked SE, he said the only difference was the ABS nonABS. too bad he had ABS. It was a killer deal.
