Default 91 crx si brake issues

so a couple of weeks ago me and some friends were headed back home and it had just finished raining. we were kinda smashin down the streets when we took a turn at around 35-40. I fish tailed amd over corrected and almost spun out into a curb so I slammed the brakes. I started driving when I smelled my brakes burning up and a loss of power. had to throw it in frist to even pull over. found out my brakes were seized so I bled them. drove it around for a min and started back home came to a red light and put on my brakes and the siezed right back up. if I use the e brake it works fine but if I touch the brake pedal it gradually gets harder to where I cant even move unless I bleed the brakes. idkwtf is goin on. doesmt seem like the piston is stuck or I dont think bleeding it will be a temp fix.

Is it just the front discs that sieze? The rear drums are cable driven in the case of the E-brake. Maybe it's something with your master cylinder.
