Hypothetical question about sticking brakes Options

[McLovin]

I have a quick question for the group. Are there any qualms or reservations against using "unloaded" brake calipers like these and transferring the bits and pieces of your OEM calipers to these calipers? This all assumes you have good pads, of course.

So are these unloaded brake calipers a bad idea? They seem like a much less tedious alternative to a rebuild kit without too much more money.

Brakes only stick cause the calipers and bores are all glazed up or the flexible lines are shit,I presume you are talking about a car you are driving not some not driven for 20yrs type and then you have issues.
Brakes are a serious item ,think you could find working units secondhand and fix those for less,up to you your car afterall.

Thanks, yes. I knew this. Which is why I am looking into replacement calipers. And then I read about the unloaded calipers, which lead to my original question.

I'm trying to determine if it is routine to purchase these unloaded calipers and then just borrow the missing hardware off the old brakes? (assuming new pads are put on) Do these "unloaded" calipers include the expanding cylinders in good working order? (sorry that I don't know the terminology)
