Pulled over when they felt like sticking.

Shot the rotors with the IR

275f on the front
100f rear
Same left to right

Continued driving in a real rural area and really didn't touch the brakes for 10 miles. Coasted to a stop and shot the rotors again.

100f front
100f back

Finished my trip home three miles braking and going repeatedly. Pulled in the driveway and checked the temp again.

115f front
115f rear

Still planning on new hoses all around and new fluid. I figure that's the least I could do since I've never touched the brake hydraulic. I'll be prepared to do a MC and/or the booster next then the calipers if need be.
