Does this look like a sticking caliper or something else?

So what are your thoughts on my brake rotors? I'm thinking that the calipers are dragging, but I could be mistaken. What are your thoughts?

Rear Drivers side Rotor


Rear Passengers side rotor


Front rotor......this one looks good, nothing like the rears

drive it for alittle while then slow down easy, get out if you smell brakes burning in the rear then thats most likely your problem, could be stuck piston's, or stuck caliper on the floater pins.

mines used to have a stuck caliper. whenever i drive to anywhere my rear driverside rotor will always turn purple/yellowish b/c it will get so hot. also smells like something is burning to. i replaced the caliper and it went away

I just dont understand why there is so much rust on the braking surface of the rears and not the fronts.

I'm debating on whether or not to rebuild the calipers.

I have no idea...........this is the way the car came when I bought it. I just ordered new rotors and pads, but I'm not sure if the caliper is the issue.
