Default Need help with brakes

Hey everyone this is my first time posting i have a 94 Accord Exr and I replaced the rotors to cross drilled slotted, and replaced the calipers. Well all the parts are reaching a year and I had to replace the rear passenger caliper cus it seized up well I bought a new one and bled all 4 brakes. Also after i have driven around and come home I check the brake rotors and they are really hot but when I checked the rear passenger side its warm and I can keep my finger on it but with the other ones I can't. what could be the problem? I also have ABS, thanks for listening.

rear brakes should be cooler than the front, funny its happing to just one side though. maybe look into getting that caliper replaced, check the brake lines as well

Hey i also forgot to tell u guys that this caliper is brand new, just bought it the other day and put it in yesterday, the rotor has rust on it still but it wont go away like on the driver side, u can tell that one is way hotter than the other when u check them. I havent checked the brake line yet, but could it be my master cylinder?

I think if it were the master cylinder, it would also be the same for the diagonally opposite wheel. Rear passenger & front driver brakes are on the same fluid circuit.

I'd suspect something isn't put together right. Anti-rattle clips in the wrong position? Handbrake mechanism doesn't release properly? Check both rears, because maybe it's the hotter one that's actually messed up.

Did you bleed the brake system correctly?

Right Rear, Left Rear, Right Front, Left front, making sure to keep the master cylinder topped off with brake fluid?
