I understand.

Handbrake. Doesn't that just manually activate the rear pads on this car? Regardless, I will use it in the future, but like you said, I seriously doubt this is the issue. The brakes never really get hot by any measurable sense. I mean sure, I wouldn't grab one, but they never smoke and their surface is shiny and bright, no blue spots, etc. I just don't heat them up much I don't feel.

Handbrake is inside the rear rotor drum.
