have a proper mechanic to check the disc run-out,
if you replaced the discs, warped hub face/dirty hub face is the other culprit...

Hey Guys!
Ok so i have been told the reason why my car is making this awful sound is because of the Callipers not releasing properly. Apparently it is getting stuck and since it is supposed to release and only grab once i press the brake pedal it has been constantly rubbing against my brake disks.
So i have been told i have 2 options;
1. Repair/ Rebuild my Callipers.
or
2. Buy new Brake Callipers.
So i wanted to hear your opinions, if you think this doesn't sound right let me know. But i just would like to know is it worth getting new brakes for some extra cash or just to rebuild the callipers.
Thanks guys

#2 Do some of your own investigation to make sure your not being con'd. Remove the caliper off the rotors and inspect to make sure there clean and nothing is stopping them from releasing
#3 As Karl said, check for the obvious things first, Brakes line etc. I don't think your booster is gone but still possible.
#4 Rebuild your caliper over getting new ones or purchasing second hand one as that way you'll know your going to get them to last for a good time!Last edited by MYDC5R; 12-11-13, 08:44 PM.

Im in the search for a new mechanic also because the one i am dealing with does not give much detail and i've realised that he doesn't seem to know much when it comes to honda's, brakes and suspension.. :S All i am doing is going there for check ups since i don't have to pay.
Thanks all appreciate you guys helping me out so i dont get ripped off

it's not the brake lines - how can standard "brake lines" cause a sticking caliper? by being kinked? but surely this would have been seen...
c'mon guys, you have to respect this is the technical forum and one sentence responses are NOT going to cut it...
if the calipers are sticking, just rebuid them (basically just new piston seals) - you need the caliper set:
part no. 01463-ST7-R00 illustartion no. 001 here:
http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...All&vinsrch=no
with new caliper specific grease - MolyKote M-77 on the slider pistons...
this should solve a sticking problem, unless the pin sliders/bores are damaged (unlikely) - and any mechanic (who has a clue) will identify a sticking caliper the instant he/she takes the caliper off to inspect it...
BUT - the part above where you said:
Though he did check the callipers, undid them and pressed them together and made sure it was all intact. This did fix it with him doing this on Saturday and throughout the weekend i didn't hear a noise at all! Until this morning on my way to work i started hearing it again, feels like it loosened up after a day.Last edited by tinkerbell; 14-11-13, 08:57 AM.... retired/
