Hawks LTS or Friction Performance from AZ are good pads, you need to change both sides!!! There is no way you rear rotor should be that hot, the only thing that builds that kind of heat is friction!!! Your fronts do 90% of the braking and even they don't get "spit sizzl'in" hot under normal use. This should fix your problem. I would also have both rotors turned while they are out. You can't eye ball warpage.

First time i hear about dielectric grease for them pins, i use antiseeze on mine but i got to do them about every 4-6 months. Does dielectric grease last longer ? what else do you guys use to lube the pins ?
