Well about the why part...after a day on the track my brakes are feeling really spongy and it feels like its almost impossible to brake hard enough to engage ABS..so what i think happened like i read on the forums is that the heat from braking hard wears out the seals and stuff on the calipers so you have to rebuild the caliper...s1997 pm'ed me a website that sells honda parts but they sell individual parts not the whole set and since a mechanic is doin the rebuild not me then i dont know what i need exactly..
