Thank you for helping me narrow it down/figure out what I need to do 🙂 I will be sure to look into that and get to fixing it as soon as I’m able to, not sure how long that’ll be though.
As far as the engine goes, it’s an RS, not GS-T or GSX so from my understanding, I actually have a Chrysler 420a engine in there, but I could be wrong…
Wow I haven’t looked or bothered to update any of this ._. Well, I couldn’t get an oxy-acetylene torch, and despite my best efforts (tons of penetrating fluid, blunt force, cheater bars, impact tools, shock with a chisel or hammer, relief cutting, everything I could try) I couldn’t get the bolt to budge…so after putting new pads on, I eventually gave up for sanity’s sake. The rotor is still shot, but it stops the car for the time being.
Might I add that the car has not moved in a month or two because of expired tags and I got my ’98 eclipse…both cars need some serious work that we can’t afford though, I know that much for sure…

As far as “name brand” brake pads, what would you recommend? When I initially tried to fix it/replaced the rotor, I used Duralast pads on there before. I will probably end up changing the pads sometime this weekend, hopefully that will help with the noise.

This is a before picture XD the caliper was grinding right against the rotor so I had to replace the rotor (I also put new pads on at this time, so I don’t think that was an issue). As far as taking it back to the same repair place, they’d just charge us another $40 to even look at the car. I may just pull everything off again and take a closer look.
