Thanks for the advice. Were the calipers themselves toast, or did you just need to rebuild seals and such?
The only time I brought my previous car, an E36 328i, to LS, I overheated the brakes so badly that the front calipers BENT the brake pads by a 20 degree angle. I wore through the remainder of the pad material and into the backplate without knowing it. I'm lucky nothing happened besides brake fade, LOL. That was with high temp fluid and track pads too.
