OMFG... so the caliper did not freeze like i thought? because my left rear caliper didn't want to let loose of the rotor (rotorpros drilled/slotted GB). my rotor was warped and tore off all the heat resistant paint. the garage said it was a broken caliper. cost me $300. when i got it fixed, the hand brake is still slippy as before.
so the problem wasn't the rotor, correct? It was the caliper because of the brake lines?

Majik, no the rotors are fine. The cadmium is wearing thin so the rust is coming up. But I guess thats every rotor. It's not so bad. The paint was ripped off by the pads but the fault of that goes back to the warping and excess heat created.
I can't say for sure right now. It's been the first time driving it since three weeks. If it happens again it's the brake line. Because it's a whole new caliper and pad. The rotor is super though. And the lines have been really taking a beating in the traffic but show no signs of wear or anything of that sort. Everything seems fine. It was just that mysterious problem I still can't find the answer to. It just... well... happened. Even my garage couldn't decipher why it happened. So far, everything is cool though guys.
