So I've put about 300 miles on since the brake job. Everything works great, and I can't detect any drag when riding on the highway, accelerating, or when I jack up and spin the wheel including after firmly depressing pedal and letting off). But they still get blazing hot, especially on the front, after stop and go traffic. Too hot to hold a hand on for more than a second or two, and though it doesn't have a burning smell per se, it smells kind of toasty. They don't seem to get this way after highway drive and cruising to a stop. My dad test drove it and says stop obsessing and just drive it ... I guess he's right. I do have two fire extinguishers on board after all.
