I can't seem to find them anywhere except the dealer and it looks like the kit I need is $127 for both sides. Anyone know where I can get either just the outer dust boot or some kind of rebuild kit fairly cheap? I only paid like $35 for each caliper so I don't want to spend too much on these things. TIA I'll put holes in him!!

I have also ordered rebuild kits from http://www.advanceautoparts.com/ and have been very happy with them. I just powdercaoted mine with the pistons and seals still in the caliper and masked around them with fiberglass tape - worked like a charm!

Did you order rebuild kits for the front or rear. I can't seem to find anything for the rears but I can find them for the fronts all day long. I'll put holes in him!!
