Caliper...

Originally, I thought I had a caliper in the front that was dragging, and I think I still do. So, ended up doing the NNBS brake upgrade while I was at it. But, turns out it was the one in the rear. Never did the idiot check on the brakes so partly my fault...still need to do the parking brake, but I’ll get a better look next week.

I've never seen a rotor like that in person, but I've seen pics of the exact damage before. Those lines or bars are the cooling fins that are sandwiched between the rotor surfaces. Is the remaining rotor surface really thin?

Very thin, in my opinion anyways! I thought I might have gotten a newly used rotor. I’ll get more when I get off from work. I was able to change it while on a long break. The other I might be able to take care of tomorrow before going to work.

Do you think that caliper was hanging up? Looks like the inner was rely dragging. Outer pad still have a little meat left? If so, that's what I think it might've been.
