Unhappy PBR Brake Upgrade Gone Bad!!!!!

I picked up a used set of 99 GT PBR calipers, brackets, hoses, rotors and pads, including all the hardware needed not too long ago. I put them on Sunday, while I was changing the steering rack out. Well, it seems both calipers are sticking, and the brakes are dragging! Im glad I didnt polish or paint them, and have to use them for cores. Looks like I will be getting a reman pair and changing them this coming weekend.

I was going to rebuild the calipers, but it seems the bores are out of round. I ended up replacing the calipers, and all is well. I am going to replace the master cylinder as well, since it seems to be leaking down. My home made pressure bleeder works very well too.
