[Shotimes] SOS... Brake rotor glowing

[Chris "Zap"]

I forgot to mention that the calipers were both replaced a few months before
the e-brake cables.  I would guess that the pins therefore would have been
replaced too?  I don't remember if they replaced the lines, but I think I
remember being told it was done.  Does anyone know if the AutoZone
replacement calipers are any better than the NAPA ones?  According to what
I've seen they suck compared to the factory parts, as they remove all the
rustproofing and coatings from the parts when rebuilding them, but they do
NOT recoat them at all.  I was curious if anyone else does a better job, or
if factory parts are recommended here.
