I do know that some disc brakes had problems when they were hot. The disc would expand slightly and if you put the hand brake on whilst the discs were hot then once the discs cooled down the pads were not pressing so tightly against the disc.
The Citroen Xantia had this issue and suffered a recall. The fix was to remove I think the first 3 or 4 notches on the hand brake to ensure you applied enough pressure. We had them as fleet cars 20yrs ago and 2 of the lads woke up the next morning to find them down the hill from where they were parked :lol
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
