After 192k miles, the brake calipers on the right side had two pistons that seized up causing one of the pads to wear down to the metal. Luckily, it had not been that long since the other side of the pads were ready to be replaced. As a result, I took it in to have new calipers, rotors and pads to be installed. I figured it would be best to replace the entire front end because the current plan is to keep it around for quite a while. I kept the old calipers since I can rebuild them both for about $40 with new pistons and seals.
Seized calipers on right side. Can clearly see rust on both pistons.

New rotors and calipers on both sides.
