OK soooooo I got it over to by buddys place and he had a few suggestions... But we first pulled the wheel off and noticed the rear inner pad was stuck on the bottom shim for some reason, would not slide... like a small chip of rust was jammed in there preventing it from moving back and forth. The top of the pad moved but not the bottom! We lube it all up and I drove it around tonight and it seems to have fixed itself! To bad I am out of 1 pair of EBC pads though.... :shrug: I will post pics of the pads tomorrow night so you can see what they look like after catching fire! ahah :freak:

Great, we love pics! I'm glad that you solved the issue. And maybe your experience will keep this in our minds when we do our brakes.
