Okay, in the past couple of days I have heard the pad dragging on the rotor in addition to excessive heat coming from the passenger rear area.

I am planning on purchasing a new bracket, pins and boots for both rear calipers. Is there anything else that should be purchased at the same time to be replaced? I probably will be doing slotted rotors all the way around in addition to pads all the way around at the same time.

Yes you should buy enough fluid to completely bleed the whole system. Do not get fancy just use Motorcraft Dot-3.

Keep in mind if it still drags it could be the Emercency Brake cable!
