[s-cars] Rear brake caliper sticking

I'm having trouble with one of the rear brake calipers sticking, it
works fine when cold, after a couple of hard stops it doesn't release all the
way. Once it cools down completely it's OK again. It's already been
replaced once a couple of years ago with a rebuild. I lubricate the hand brake
cam regularly, in fact it was lubed just a couple of months ago when new
hand brake cables were installed. So my suspicion is that it's the piston
sticking.
I guess it's time to put in another rebuilt caliper, anyone have a
source for high quality rebuilds? My feeling is most places just clean up
calipers and pop in a new piston seal, without rehoning the cylinders, measuring
for tolerances, etc. I don't want to keep doing this over and over...
Or bite the bullet and put in a new one?
