AFter new calipers, rotors, pads in the rear, braking system did not work properly. Took to CARS in Tiffin and after 10 days, they replaced the master cylinder and brake booster. They figured that the rear brakes were heating up because the front brakes were not doing their share of the work. Brake pedal is much stiffer and rotors do not get as hot. Stoplight switch was also replaced.
