I would assume that a rebuild would have fixed the issue, but we don't do that at the dealership anymore; so it was a new caliper to correct the issue.

Is there any way to tell that one may be moving slower than the other? Did you guys just pop the brake shoes out(or pull the caliper off) and have somebody press the brake?
I think I will try the rebuild kit since they are so cheap, thanks for the reply!

This was with 2 sets of pads.. I just switched to Centric Posi Quiet all around yesterday.

Well that makes me feel better, I drive a little aggresive, but not bad enough to only get 20,000 miles out of the brakes, I am not too impressed with EBC. I am getting pulsing right now and that front right is squealing. I also think when I do my next break job I will be using a different type. Thanks!

I can't honestly remember if I had to torque on them or not, I dont think I did but I will keep this in mind on the next brake change.
