Ok so when I bought my ep3 I knew it needed pads, rotors and struts. Well after replacing the rotors and pads after a little bit of stop and go traffic the pedal gets stiff. I can smell my brakes, sometimes see the smoke and my driverside wheel is crazy hot. After a little bit of driving without touching the brakes everything goes back to normal. Soon as I hit the brakes some and build up pressure it does it again. When the caliper is sticking the car is very sluggish and I can literally sit on a hill in neutral and not roll.

It is not pulling to either side. Driverside pad is down to metal within a week or two while the passenger side looks new. I have replaced rotors three times, pads twice, both front calipers twice, both front rubber hoses, brand new slides, everything greased up, brake fluid vacuumed out and replaced by Honda. Almost everyday I have had it in the air trying to figure out what it could be. Over the past couple weeks it has gotten worse. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I just want to actually enjoy driving it without worrying when it's gonna start sticking again. I've never had this problem with the 40+ vehicles I've owned, is this something anyone has experienced?

Get these or rebuild the calipers... Cant beat $ 58 per side with brake pads though....
If you didnt get new calipers, if you did ....

I replaced the caliper twice now just to be sure I didn't get a defective one the first time but the oem ones were doing it also. I'm at a loss. Hours and hours of research and no one seems to have the same symptoms. If t was the master cylinder or brake booster it would be doing it to both sides correct?
