its up to you.. the cleaning (honing kit) you can pick up at pepbous or autozone and for the rest you can check out www.acuraautomotiveparts.net or whatever and if you want pistons new.. then go for it.. they have it all.

finally! found your post. heres what i'm reading from honda-tech
"thats it. its a good idea when you take apart the calipers to get a new rubber boot kit, redo the grease and hone the inside.. clean out the crap in the middle of the caliper and so on, that way you can paint them bishes."

Where can i get the rubber boot kit, and what exactly does it do?

honing kit will make sure the clylinder walls are very smooth that way you get the best surface for the pistons. h: :booty:

rubber boot kit is for what else.. hehe to replace all the rubber parts to make sure they got no cracks or are worn cuz then that will make it not function right.

oh, so i'm gonna be replacing each part indivudually? I thought there was some kit that I would be buying that would come with all of it.

When I dunk the calipers into the degreaser, so I need to pop the pitons out or take off any of the rubber seals?

your going to take them completely apart... every little piece and bolt and clean everything out, piece by piece, all metals can do in degreaser.. just about everything can.. its work but its well worth it, i would point you to the tutorial that was on hondaprelude.com but thats no mo..
