    Good luck. A few years back I was going to rebuild my sons front brakes. I was told you can’t get rebuild kits but they would be glad to sale me the whole thing. Have you tried rockauto?

    I'd stay away from buying rebuilt calipers. It seems the quality of rebuilds have gone down. Rebuilding yourself is a good option if you can find the seemingly unobtainium parts.

    I had a rear caliper go bad on my R53. I bought & installed a rebuilt. It didn't last 6 months. The parts store replaced it. About the same amount of time later poof another duff caliper. At this time I said fark it all & bought a new gold plated caliper from the local dealer. Not cheap, but it did work & kept working.

    Thanks for the suggestion.... It isn't listed on the RockAuto web site, but their supplier turns out to be Carlson Quality Brake Parts out of Lima Ohio. I jumped over to the Carlson website and they list both front and rear dust seals. Rear being P/N 15324 for my 2009. Found them on fleabay for $7.31 each. Ordered a pair.....
