Caliper sticking?

Caliper sticking?
What causes calipers to stick and how do you unstick them? My right front is sticking just a little until it gets warm and then it's fine. It kinda sounds like the old drum to the shoe noise but just very , very minor when I press and release the break first thing in the morning. After it warms up the noise is gone.If I pull off the wheel can I spray the caliper with something and if so, what and where? Thanks , Mike

and if your just bored....rebuild calipers, CLEAN (brake cleaner) and caliper grease all moving parts, and then put on new rotors ()brembo blanks?) and pads and go from there. lol.
Checking through things sounds easier, and less exspensive, but if you wanted to throw parts at it, that'd be the way to go. lol.

Brand new Brembo blank rotors and brand new Hawk pads.About two weeks old. My mechanic put them on but he has the flu or some kind of crud right now. I just thought I could do something to fix it myself and not bother him at this time. He a great mechanic and friend. The fluid is new and the brakes work perfectly. Just have that noise when I get ready to leave in the morning then it's gone.I do know that he put no-seize on the pins. Mike

my friends 99 tacoma had this issue with the passenger side front caliper, when it was cold, its seemed to drab the pad intermittently, then once it warmed up, it no longer did, and it no longer pulled to the right...had some shop rebuild the caliper and all was well...

Sorry for double-posting this from another thread, but I've had no takers so far and need to get something pretty quick.
I've abandoned my desire to upgrade my brakes via the Tundra route (too many $$ at the moment) and figure this was the most appropriate thread for the following. I have now decided to go with the blank Brembo rotors and new pads for the front. I'm in BC and the cost of these rotors is almost $100 ea. I wanted to go for the Performance Friction Landcruiser pads, but can't find them offerred anywhere. In response, the supplier offerred the following and I'm curious as to what the best route to go is as I know nothing about the first 3 listed;
1)PBR metallic
2)Apex Kevlar
3)Raybestos Ceramic
4)OEM Toyota pads
The Ceramics were the most expensive quoted (~$10 higher than the others)and I don't have a price on the yota pads. I would appreciate any comments from other users who have experiences with any of these.
