Trying to interpret here. Sounds like they were dragging badly before, causing the rotors to get red hot? Now they're still getting warm after replacing the calipers and rubber lines?

Are the caliper slides notched and worn, preventing the pads from retracting?

Well you did better than me, I gave up after "calipers"

Do hope the answer was to your question & not Cruiser's.
