Default Rebuilt Calipers?

Anyone have any experience with rebuilds? I see them from NG in the $85.00 dollar range for fronts.

I am having a very odd occurence where the front brakes on my 94 LS do not seem to be either egaging or releasing simultaneously ( not sure which). The result is the slight sensation of the front end pulling toward the passenger side. It does not move the steering wheel in your hand, however.

The effect of this was greatly lessened but still exist after changing out the front pads & replacing the front oem brake lines with stainless steel.

My next step, unless someone can tell me different is to change the calipers. Ideas & thoughts welcome.

Nothin wrong with rebuilds, most of the actual caliper is cast iron that last forever. In a rebuild all the things that may go bad are replaced
