In case you do not know already, you are supposed to replace calipers in pairs.

If the calipers were dragging, you've likely glazed your pads and rotors and should change them out while you're in there. Pads are cheap, and if you get them from Autozone with their lifetime warranty, bring them back before they get down to metal, and you'll get a replacement set for free.
