happened to me, and only when the wheel tracking guys got the car on the ramp, they discovered one of my rear brake calipers was seizing. The piston was getting stuck very slightly on the brakes. So i got a new TRW caliper from Germany, and it's solved the problem. I remember tounching the rear brake discs after a drive, and one was almost red hot to the touch, but the other one was just fairly hot, but not scorching hot.

So far so good with replacing one calliper. Both rears are normal temperature. I have to walk past the one that hasn't been changed to get out of the garage so it will be noticeable if it does start binding again.
