Default second failing caliper in 4 months?? bigger problem than i think it is?

about six months ago my front right rotor was starting to show signs of being warped, i drove on it for a month and then it was crazy when i put on the brakes and my **** would shake, so I took it to a shop because i didnt want to do it myself and they showed me how the front right caliper was sticking on the rotor so when he spun the wheel it would immediately stop when he let go of it. he said my back rotors were fucked also so he gave me a total and it would have cost me 1grand to fix everything....hmmm no thanks ill do it myself. so i bought a pair of brembo rotors cause i knew they wouldnt take a **** like the others would and then i bought a fotn right caliper(the only caliper sticking and having a problem). so i put on the front right caliper and rotor and everything was fine. about a week ago i noticed the same symptons as before and jus 5 mins ago i put my car up jack stands and spun the front right wheel and what do you know it immediately stopped just like it did before. I dont brake much at all because i downshift and when the rotor is hot i dont run into puddles of water to jet on my rotors and help warp it....... what could be the problem could it be sumthin bigger than i think it might be ????? oh by the way i drive a 90 integra with abs

When you changed the caliper before, did you make sure the pins it mounts to would slide easily? The pins being siezed is a common cause of sticking instead of the caliper piston itself. The same is also true of the back calipers.
