OK, just being clear.
You're right- that's important to all the inexperienced guys that read the posts.

Honda rear calipers are notorious for ceasing. I had one of the rear ones on my Type R and my S2000 cease at one time or another. I got a sweet deal on a brand new set of rear ones for my S2000, so I'm good to go.

Good luck. You'd think Honda would take care of this problem. I guess it is like the rear quarter lips always rusting when the rubber trim is left on.

I think I had the same issue with the driver's side rear caliper seizing on me a week or two ago. I was about to replace both rears but then it started working fine again. When it was seized, the entire allow wheel was oven hot to the touch after only 30 mins highway cruising. I can smell rubber burning (tire). But ever since it sort of fixed itself, I've been monitoring it, and so far so good. If it ceases on me again, I'm going to replace it.
