I replaced both front calipers and pads this weekend. I also removed and replaced as much brake fluid as I could.
Drove for about 30 miles in the heat of the afternoon and had no issues. Got heavy on the brakes at about the 20 mile mark getting closer to home.
Fingers crossed that fixed the issue.
Side note: Both calipers came off with little effort (they were not seized). But the pistons did not move as freely as the new ones.
I will repost if the issue comes back.
Thanks to everyone for the help.
