Update
I didn't have a chance to look at it myself so I dropped it off at pep boys this morning and they said the caliper seized and warped the rotor so he said I need to replace front calipers rotors and other necessities for $644... he said the left is getting there but the right one is bad. He said it looks like the previous owner replaced the pads and didn't resurface the rotors I assume?
And I did notice the day I looked at them that the front wheels weren't spinning freely. I could torque the wheel in the air lol

Some will say you can get it done cheaper, and while you can if you purchase and do the work yourself, you probably won't find many retail shops that will do that for a whole lot less...

Yes he said to do it all. My concern is my friend had the same problem and he said he had his rotors milled at oreillys auto so he did not have to replace the rotors. Bc if im going to replace the rotors I should look into the supra or ls400 upgrade if the price is close.
Thank you all again. This community is very helpful!

Unless you are friends with someone at the shop, they probably won't replace with anything that wasn't stock, but you could do it at home just fine...

I had a similar situation. Do yourself a favor, in the evening when it's dark out, drive it a few miles and park it; get out and look at the rotor, I bet it looks like this:
They aren't that bad to rebuild, and aren't horribly expensive to replace. Good luck!
