Default Caliper sticking

Hey guys, I have a 2000 Grand and I'm having trouble with the calipers sticking. I know the first answer is going to be to change the calipers. Well the problem is that it isn't the same caliper every time. Nor is it the front vs. the rear. Any ideas on what to look into? It only does it intermittently. I may drive it for months with no trouble, then it may happen every time I try to go some where in it.

Remove and lube all the mounting pins, or buy new ones and make sure they're lubed with high temp brake grease. As long as the pistons aren't sticking or leaking, there is no reason the replace the calipers.
