Default Rear brake problem

well, I stopped to get some gas, and noticed that my rear rotors weren't getting a nice glazed look (93 EX, rear-disc brakes), basically the inner part of the rotor had a little wear, but towards the outer edge looked like it was barely touched, and even had a little bit of rust toward the outside edges on my passenger side one.
I lightly touched the rotor/area around the rotor (after driving about 7 miles, and filling up my gas tank), and it was hot, so I'm sure there is some contact... do you guys think that maybe my rear lines are clogges/restricted, or maybe I need to get new rear calipers? Any quick tests I could do at home? Should I jack up the rear, and spin the tire, then have a friend press the brakes and see to make sure the brakes grab? Any advice would be helpful.

i recently had all 4 rotors replace in my car (95 ex v6), i went with crossed drilled powerstop and ebc brake pads...my stock rotors was done in pretty well when i replaced it at 105,xxx miles...so far am pretty satisfied with the crossed drilled and ebc, i just need to upgrade to legend calipers since accords only have 1 piston in them and braking sucks big time in accords (according to all owners here in the forum)

it sounds like your brakes are dragging. You are going to need to take off the caliper and re-lube the two 12mm bolts. They are suppose to allow the piston to slide back and forth. They are probably seized..hope this helps.
