Default bad imbalance in braking on a MY99

I seemed to have got a bad imbalance in my brakes. the car is a U.K MY99. when braking hard firstly the drivers side brake grips and the car pulls to the right and 1 second later the passenger side kicks in and the car pulls to the left.. anyone know what the likely cause of this is? is it the caliper/piston seizing on the passenger side?? and how can this be fixed and is it likely to be pricey?

thanks
Andrew.

Yes it sounds like sticky calipers , if you are mechanically minded , you can check each piston to see if they move freely , If not I can supply you reconditioned exchange calipers in my current group buy for £170 a pair plus P&P
