the other thing is, if you have a rear drum brakes, the front rotors overheats because the rear shoes are not adjusted properly or they maybe out of spec and not working at all meaning the front brakes are doing most of the stopping job.
Drums, on at least any 4th gen and later, are self adjusting. Rear brakes also do so little braking compared to the front that I wouldn't consider them at fault for failing front brakes (sure, the fronts will fade sooner, but I wouldn't expect them to fade during any normal daily driving). Brake break-in (bedding) should be done with 6-10 consecutive/repetitive hard slow downs from 40-60mph down to 10mph, getting the rotors and pads nice and hot and then letting them cool by driving around for ~10 minutes without coming to any complete stops, not by babying them. Slow/soft braking will not bed the pads in properly and you'll end up with glazed rotors and very poor braking performance. I explained this in more detail in another somewhat recent brake thread and you can research the issue online and/or talk to a performance pad manufacture if you don't want to take my word for it.
