Try the simple stuff first. Fresh fluid is a must but also look to see if the caliper slides are working smoothly and not binding in anyway that could cause the pads to drag after the pedal is released. Make sure the lines and hoses are in good condition and not kinked or collapsed. I have seen situations where the pressure in the caliper could not be released due to a faulty line or collapsed hose causing severe drag. A maladjusted master cylinder pushrod can cause the same problem.

If everything in the hydraulic system is in perfect working condition the best thing to do to reduce heat is pad choice and or driving style.
