Did you properly prime the calipers with fluid? If no one of them could have seized up.

What kind of pads and rotors did you use? Why did you replace the pads and rotors? Was there any abnormal wear on the old pads or rotors? How are you figuring out that the brakes are hotter then they should be? Is the car only pulling to the left during braking or all the time?

If you just did your brakes and nothing else it's most likely an issue with the brakes or wheel.

Unless you did something stupid like jack the car up by its tie rod or other suspension component.

Just curious why does your dad say that.

A fat chick in the right seat might help this issue

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Hope this helps

Yes I own 2 slow red chick cars & 1 real car!
