Have you bled the brakes. Brake fluid can break down with heat and moisture. Have the calipers been checked for proper operation ( pistons can swell against the sides of the cylinders. They can manually be returned to open position but be to tight for line pressure to operate properly ). Are lines damaged and kinked to rear calipers? Is master cylinder bad and bypassing fluid intended to go to rear calipers? Is proportioning valve in break line shifted to front only position? These items should all be checked.

I drive a 95 mustang, and i need to replace my rotor on my drivers side, and at the same time redo the break pads (the previous owner of the car did not seat the break pads correctly in the calipers and now I have to deal with the gouges).
