Can you think of anything else that would cause this problem???
Just want to make sure I'm covering all my bases.

It might help you to upgrade to SD rotors and calipers since you plan to change both of them anyway. It seems that the original rotors are inadequate for the weight of these cars and since its vented, I would assume it runs cooler. So far so good on the SD rotors on mine. Its the rear brake squeel that I cant get rid off. Im going to try zimmermann rotors in there soon.
