Happy Sunday.
I went to move y rig yesterday after sitting for a while. Didn't want to move. Almost like the parking brake was still on. I made sure it wasn't, so I gave it some beans. then a LOUD POP. I thought that i had broken an axle. Went to put it in the car port and there was a squeak like a warped rotor. I didn't see anything obvious, so I jacked it up and spun the rear wheels. The driver side had a clunk/rubbing sound. Took the tire and rotor off. Spin again and nothing. The rotor was rusty, and all I can make out it that the parking brake and/or rear pads were stuck. Now I'm trying to decide what to do. I usually buy OEM parts, but I can get the Powerstop Z36 kit for the same as OEM rotor and pads. Also, the pads look fine. I'm thinking about hitting them with some 80 grit and putting them back on with a new rotor. My rotors are rusty, and usually I don't turn them because of the reduced mass hurting performance. I was looking for a higher performance rear pad, and all I found is the Powerstop. I wouldn't mind running the Hawk LTS pads, if someone has a part number for the rear.
So, I guess I have three options.
1. Get new rotors, and run the original pads
2. Get new rotors, and pads (OEM)
3. Get new rotors and pads (Powerstop)
Pics of the rotor rust. Both are after using a flappy disk to clean them off. Thanks in advance for the advice
