Rossford Ohio????
What year is your SHO?
They are hot because something is dragging/sticking. Could be calipers, slider pins, emergency brake cable, swollen rubber brake lines, faulty booster, gunk in the brake lines, or other stuff.

...or the brake pedal return spring is weak and not allowing the pedal to return to the released position. Does the car feel like it is dragging as if the brakes are always on? Was it only one rotor that was hot or all of them? Try lifting the brake pedal with your foot whill driving to see if the brakes are in fact dragging. That would point to the pedal return spring.
