Default caliper proble????

Hey guys, my my left front brake is sticking, and the left front rotor is a lot hotter than the right front rotor. I believe this is a sticky left front caliper, but not sure. I have the stock calipers with aftermarket drilled/slotted rotors and ebc red stuff pads. Anyone with any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks.
Joshua

No one has had this problem? OK then, does anyone know where to buy, if they make, a caliper rebuild kit for a 97 a4 quattro?

Usually rebuilt calipers are so cheap now they dont offer rebuild kits. One thing to check before you replace the caliper. The line can casue the caliper to seem stuck. If you crack the bleeder open and get a squirt of fluid the line has deteriorated and theres nothing wrong with the caliper.

I replaced my rear right caliper with a rebuilt one for $90. I would imagine the front and rear are close to the same price. Did this problem occur right after you installed the aftermarket rotors and pads or had they already been on for a while?

No, the problem was the rotors.....left front was warped. I am about to order a new set....guess I'll stick with the slotted only b/c I think they look better...
