It is expected that the fronts get hotter than the rears since the fronts provide more of the braking power than the rears.

I just didn't think they would get that hot after a short test drive. The test drive was less than 5 miles, under 45 mph & almost no braking! Can you touch your rotors for any amount of time after a short trip? Just curious what other vehicles are experiencing. Re: '93 SR rear brake saga continues...

Combine that with the fact that you had less breaking force with the rear caliper defeated, and you have 33's which put a lot more force on the braking system, and I wouldnt be suprised that your rotors are that hot.
