Trevor: It could be the ebrake cable. The outside cover breaks underneath the car near where the cable enters the car. Lets water in = corrosion = sticky cable. Or the caliper is sticky. There is a procedure to free up a sticky ebrake cam at UrS4.com. I just bought "rebuilt" calipers (which turned out to be brand new) from a local after market company. Relatively easy to change the whole caliper. NOTE: Playing with your old caliper may require retracting the piston which needs a special tool to push and turn the piston at the same time.
