breaks get hot, this is normal. The fronts are used more therefore warmer.

Really, though. It is most likely not your brakes. Are you the only driver? if not your little brother or whoever could be doing burn outs. The smell will get trapped in the cabin air filter.

yes this is normal, you will get the rubber smell trapped in your cabin air filter. You can take it out and air it out or use febreeze or some other air duct cleaner. Next time you do a burn out turn the air recirculation button on...

Please never touch your rotors again. Rotors get very hot after driving.
