For the last few blasts I've had in my weekend car (Honda Prelude 2.2) I've noticed its been really sluggish and drinking a hell of a lot fuel. I noticed today when I'd taken it out theres a hishing noise coming from the drivers side rear brakes, as well has scoring on the disk. (It went in the garage for the same issue earlier in the summer)

Now with this being the second time the calipers have stuck on, should I be looking at replacing the calipers with new? If so, do you buy them as singles or sets? I've been toying with the idea of buying uprated calipers all round, but cant find any info on the net about what calipers would fit on my 5th Gen Prelude or even how much it would cost.


Basically, does anyone know if its worth attempting to fix the existing calipers, someones told me copper grease and maybe new seals on the calipers may fix it. Or am I better off biting the bullet and buying replacements?

Thanks :)
 
Could just be the handbrake mechanism that needs a clean and grease up. You'd need to have a look with it stuck to get an idea of what's causing the problem and if it can easily be fixed.
