[s-cars] Rear Brake Rotor Source? I think my caliper seized orsomething?

[Mark Strangways]

Yeah they stick, about every two years for me...
That sounds like your gonna need pads as well as a rotor.

If your in an area where they use lots of salt, or the new creation to 
replace it... It will seem to kill rear calipers.
