Just a side note... Make sure you dont have a bad brake hose. I've seen them collapse inside and act a a one-way valve and not let the fluid back out of the caliper. Happened on one of my former cars. Burned out two sets of bearings, brake pads and calipers before I figured it out.

yeah, good point.
the easiest way to check for that is to crack open the bleed screw and then try to puch the piston back into the caliper.
if the piston moves in and fluid comes out od the bleeder, then you have a swollen hose...and not the kind that chicks dig.

I am headed to a j-yard tomorrow. If something from a non-SVT will help you let me know, and I'll see what they have.
I just don't know the differences between the rear brakes from the SVT to other models.

The rear rotors/pads are the same for SVT and non-SVT vehicles.
Haroon, I may have pads and rotors, I'll take a look after work today. I don't remember if I kept them before I moved or not. But, I'll check.
