My off side caliper is sticking. Any recommendations on a replacement supplier.

My thought is that such items should be replaced in pairs.
If in agreement then you could consider the
Yaris aluminium front calipers that have much been much discussed on here.
Ok so quick look a spider chat suggests using prius 2 calipers. Left on the right an vice versa.
You can get re-manufactured calipers or the parts to rebuild yours from here;
Brakeparts international (https://brakeparts.co.uk/shop/Toyota/MR2/00-/MR2%20Sports%20Zzw30%201.8%20Roadster/Front%20-%20Brake%20Calipers%20and%20Wheel%20Cylinders)
Def generation 2 prius calipers not yaris.
In terms of left vs right. Just place so the bleed nipple is at the top.

Although fronts are a simpler design than rears, I'm bit :-\ , regards brakeparts international. I bought some rears from them 5 years ago. 22,000 miles later I'm told they need replacing. :'(
You might not need new calipers. I suggest lubricating the sliders first. Use silicon grease (I use Ceratec).
Id be sourcing a good used one from J-spec. Most of these remanufactured ones or pattern ones are poor quality as Ardent mentioned above.
I forget the name of the company now but i got hold of a 'new' rear caliper a couple of years back and it was awful quality, returned it and sourced a good used Toyota one, still going now and the car gets hammered (mr2 championship).
Mr2-ben sells brand new genuine toyota calipers but as everything is on there, quite overpriced. That said, it's what I did when I needed new rears.
tcbparts sell reconditioned ones with a 12 month guarantee (but you exchange them for your old ones) ... that would probably be my go-to if I was buying now.
