I guess there really was some issue with my front calipers even though they weren't sticking...since braking effort required to stop the car decreased so much with the rebuilt ones...Glad I decided to do the fronts also, now my W123 stops just like my W116 does....which is exceptionally well.

THe back was a no brainer...I had one that definately was sticking recently. But wasn't contributing to the higher braking effort the car had required since I bought it..
