Changed out the pads on my baby, took her for a spin and the front right side caught on fire right at the caliper, so I decided I'm just going to do a whole front end brake job.
The flames were pretty mild and I put out the little flames relativity fast ( 30 secs-1 min) I was wonder if this is going to cause damage to anything extra I should go ahead and replace.

I was wondering if there is anything else I should do while I'm down there maintenance wise(hasn't seen any love in the frontend/brake department).? Anything else I need to grab that's not on this list? I already have pads and fluid.

thank you,

I'd replace the the rubber lines going to the calipers. Id also try to figure out why it got so hot.

Don't forget the inner seal for the rotor

Sounds like the rubber line was bad, collapsed, causing the caliper to stay clamped down, and then driving it, and yup.... Had that happen in my first bird.

thank you all, gonna get all new lines for the brakes on both sides then. Can't wait to get off work and take care of it
