remove slide pins from calipers and clean them. Then, apply new grease and re install. See if your problem goes away.

You don't need to take the lines off unless you replace a caliper. I think it's a 14MM bolt, loosen them off, and then use a synthetic or silicone grease on the pins.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
It's a caliper homie, not a caliber.........and I'm pretty sure there's more than 1 guy on this forum.

Follow the above advice and hopefully that'll fix your issue. If you need a new caliper RockAuto has them priced pretty low and they're re-manufactured OEM's I believe.

Ok so I cleaned them and new grease and the one side that was giving me the problem is still doing it but even hared now with the new brakes. So Im going to just change the 1 side or should I do both and get from the auto part store, off ebay or get some kind of sports ones does it even matter on witch kind I get ?
