    I hope you replace both sides at the same time. Did you also inspect the wheel bearings? The only way you're really going to know is to take it apart again and look for damage. Something is obviously wrong. You just have to isolate it.

    if you replaced the brake pads, the calipers, and the rotors this should not happen go to another mechanic someone didn't replace the caliper or you may have a bad brake hose have someone check the hose and caliper for some reason your brake pads are hanging up you have to find out now and soon

    Could be the pins the pads slide on, could be the wheel bearings are worn, could be the proportioning valve.

    Slide pins could be siezed and your brakes could be dragging. It is normal for brakes to get hot. The braking system turns rotational energy into heat. If your rims are extremely hot (burning hot) to the touch then you have a severe case of dragging brakes and your pads will wear out extremely fast.
