I was about 500 miles into a 2700 mile trip when I heard a grinding from my right rear rotor. Turns out the e-brake cable rusted and froze up. Since it has been 80k miles since my last brake job and the front rotors were turned at the time, I am getting all new rotors, pads, and both e-brake cables. Those dang cables are $115/ea plus installation. I am posting this to suggest you may want to check and lubricate the e-brake cables to avoid this problem. (PS-Since I have an MT6, I had no choice but to replace them.) (PPS-I decided against drilled/slotted rotors and am going with Centric premium rotors and ceramic pads.)

 

As long as you're replacing everything back there, take a good look at the caliper pins. I just did the rear brakes on our '99 and one of the floating pins on each side had stopped floating. They were rusted inside the rubber boots and completely bound up. A little WD-40 and a hammer and I was able to break them loose enough to clean them up and re-grease them. If I hadn't noticed that, I'd probably be replacing the brakes again before too long.
