Brakes sticking/rubbing a little

[Gregory Casimir]

Finally drove my S5 TII to the garage today and left it there to get its inspection and get registered to be road legal. This is the first time it's been driven on the road in about a year, and the brakes were feeling a little mushy. Am sure they need new brake fluid, and also am going to order new pads & rotors. But one thing I noticed was that the brakes were sticking on a little. If I was coming to a set of lights I could get off the gas and put it in neutral and it would come to a stop (as if there was light pressure on the brakes). When I got to the garage I also felt the rotors at the front and they were abnormally warm. Not hot like they'd boil water, but pretty warm.

Think new fluid/rotors/pads would solve this, or maybe a bit of manipulation of the calipers themselves to get them moving right again? Or should I be looking at getting caliper rebuild kits?
