I had my right rear caliper stick, shoot the pad out, and the piston was grinding directly on the rotor.

Replace the offending calipers, buy new rotors for the front, get some good quality pads, and have at it.

If I can't compress the pistons in on my girl's 94 stang rear calipers, does that mean the calipers are no good? The piston moves inward but not outward like I need it to to put on the new pads and have it fit over the rotor. The brakes were wearing like this slash mark \ top to bottom.
