No Rear Brakes!
 
Looks like my brakes failed on me.

The rear-right caliper is f**ked. Need a new one. Might as well get two new while i'm at it.

Also need new pads and rotors. Measuring under spec and all...

My question is: i have a set of front rotors hangin' around my garage. Are front and rear parts interchangeable?

Also, where's the best place to buy brake parts? I wanna get the best price on these, especially the calipers.

Please help! this is my daily driver!

wrenchhead.com has napa parts online. Not too bad, the rotors are kinda expensive cuz they've got the wheel bearings in them. Calipers aren't interchangable F+R afaik, the rears have the parking breaks in them, and on the GSL's they're pushing against non vented discs.

On the -SE the F+R discs are different sizes, and pads are different sizes as well.

hey - just so you guys know, i found pretty inexpensive remanufactured rear calipers for $100 on http://www.autozone.com .

$82.99 a side, that doesn't sound too bad. Appreciate the tip!
