Thanks for the insight. I am bringing my car to a brake specialty place today, just to get a third opinion on what is going on. It's free, but of course they may find something. I think with my 65 mile one way commute on Interstate 25 everyday is causing the problem. I think somehow the pads are not releasing and building up heat as I drive. I new about the hot spot theory after slowing down and since I have a 5 spd, I normally slow down, coast a few feet and then let the car sit at the light without any brakes on. I also had a very open wheel style, but that didn't dissapate heat either. So something is heating these things up. I suspect either dragging, poor equalization between front and rear, bad master cylinder, or just plain ol shitty Raybestos brake parts. After my appt today, I wil update my info to share with all who may be having similar issues with their 4th Gen.
