Ouch!

good move on the parts, looks like your caliper is leaking. You will need the pins also, and I'd do the rotors as well.

Ouch, never seen that before. Good pics. The other pad looks in near new condition. Had you had any break work done lately? Had you noticed any signs of wear on the pins?

I put those in a year ago (EST carbon fiber pads) with my front setup the backs do not do that much work I had to replace the front in February, after three times at the track and 4 at a strip and light driving around.
I also noticed that the pins on the other side are lose!!!!

I was thinking of letting the new pad resurface the rotor.

Oh my...you need to tap those pins in flush with the back of the caliper...I use a big pair of channel locks and squeeze them in flush

Well here's an update

Got the caliper on Thursday and had the time to install it today
Here it is...

And suprise it came with some pads so I will let the new stock pads surface the rotor and when it looks smooth chang to the new EST's.
Here is a shot of the other side i'm suprised it was all still there.

And the finished install
