Tough call then really - without driving your car round a track! You're sure the rear pads are also Pagid? Rear pads being stock also amplifies the situation on the fronts.

Yes Definitely sure, swapped them ourselves and I had to show off pictures of our shiny new brake pads on facebook :P

Ohwell it didn't take away from the fun of our day but small things like that burrow away in the back of your head when you think back to it thumbsdown

All things considered I'd bet on corrosion in calipers forcing the seals into the pistons, thus the calipers dragging and overheating.

 

Really this is just a guess! - Its certainly not unheard of though.

Then I conclude either you or your dad are morbidly obese. Only reason the brakes couldn't hold up. ;)

Lol thanks guys :grouphug: 

Probably is the calipers, that's the one thing we've not played around with in that area and they weren't clean to begin with.
