Parts list

2 New Rotors
2 New calipers ( can't buy rebuild kits here in Australia)
Pads

That's the cost of going fast.
Unfortunatly my wife was there when I had to pick the car up and pay the bill, that's going to cost me hehehe.
That's not fun... I'm surprised that the SRT6 calipers blew a seal on you... But I can understand the pads falling apart with brake fluid soaked into them... Heck, that stuff eats the paint off your car...

Happy to hear you're back and running... Mine is off the road and getting a "heart transplant"...
