They are no different to any other caliper on any other road car.
Spirited driving accelerates the rubber degredation on the rears causing them to split.
I bought a refurb rear off ebay for mine,

Mine done 118k and is 9 years old, several track days which have had the rear disks turning blue.
In both my cases the rubber seal had split, it is quite possible they split due to someone winding the pistons in hamfisted, however heat would certainly make the rubber more brittle. It certainly looked cut on the first one. The problem is due to corrosion, nothing else. The root cause of this corrision is either a split seal, or in many cases a poor seal, likely due to the rubber (again) becoming too hot
The rear calipers are the same as a Rover 600ti amongst other cars. The design is exactly the same as what Honda have been using since the 90s when the CRX was graced with the setup from Nissin. No other Honda has issues, I think it is a combination of them being used on a RWD car (more braking effort, therefor more heat) plus the fact they get driven hard
There is nothing that an OES one will solve over using a proper Nissin caliper with new seals.
