I would check for sticking slider pins, or bound emergency brake cable, etc.

I caught my SHO on fire due to stuck slider pins on the rear calipers. I believe it's the grease in the bearings or the hose itself that catch fire. Originally posted by Ray:

"Not warped too bad" is an oxymoronic comment - hence may calling it ghetto. I got brakes if you need 'em.
