Is also a good option to not apply the handbrake when the rear rotors are ultra hot.

That's probably how it happened in the first place. Had a cruise with the mid-A gang on Saturday and pretty much drove my car hard all day and night afterwards. Didn't really allow the rotors to cool whenever I parked the car.
Good news though, re-bedded my pads and the heat spots are gone! The forum saves the day again, thanks a lot guys!
