You're welcome.
BTW, to all, now's the time to pick up calipers if budget allows and your time is limited. Esp. the rear ones. They're a bit of trouble to rebuild, especially if not an experienced DIY'er. And like the other poster said, pins/sliders, hardware and such is good to have and stock up on.

my only 2 fc's were missing at least some of the hardware. i'm sure it's common that people lose/forget/don't care to reinstall the return springs or shims, WHY after doing a brake job. it's worth the extra 15$ or so to have everything as it was from the factory.
and if within the service limits, have the rotors turned as upposed to replacing with cheap units. i know it costs about the same, but at least this way you have a guaranteed true surface

Well I got mine out. One of the pistons was tough to get back in but it did go. Very little if any material left. One pad was wearing uneven from the back of the pad to the front. I attribute that to the pic below. Almost makes me wonder if these were original pads lol. Car didnt exhibit any shaking or pulsing under braking. Prolly scotch brite the rotor and slap on the new pads.

Rotors arent warped. No need for turning the rotors. they arent warped or shaky. Scotchbrite is to remove the old material from the surface. The pad wear from what I have read is from the the pads not being able to move inside of the caliper. This is due to the rust and no lubrication. Thats why you add brake grease to the back of the bad/shim.

the lube at the back of the shim is to reduce noise. technically, when a pad has a shim, you don't even need the lube, as the shim is what reduces noise already. some people use it anyways as an extra precaution. do as you like. just offering my advice. take care
