Yea, it fried the paint off of both sides of the backing plate, turned the brake pads into charcoal and vaporized the caliper piston boots. I can just guess what the piston seals look like. I got out all my little wire brushes and cleaned the backing plates in prep for paint. All the other parts are being replaced including the brake hoses. One thing though, the brake hoses swelling on the inside was not the root cause. I will never know if it's that traction control system unless I test everything else. I'm going to attach a thermal couple to the pads and watch the temp so this does not happen again.
