well my Q is running again 900 dollars later. I had to replace pretty much every thing connected to the wheel including suspension except the brakes. Parts were 500 and 400 for labor. He bought alot of the parts from a junk yard, which actually look alot better then what was on there. I also had my brake pads replaced. When this was done my mechanic realized that my rear driver tire caliper was stuck down. Which caused the pad to wear faster. Would this be an easy switch of a caliper or is their more involved?

Should just be a caliper swap and flush the lines well.

ABSOLUTELY! Most stick, because cheap brake shops only pull one pin, to swing the caliper away and install the new pads. Then they don't put caliper grease (Specifically formulated for high temps) on the pins. It took me several tries to get my LR caliper to stop burning up the outer pads. Once the grease is gone, and brake dust has dried in the hole, it is a bear to clean it out and get new grease in there.
