Brake Caiper Seals, Where can I buy some?
I want to rebuild my Brake Calipers using the DRM stainless steel pistons. I need a new set of piston seals. GM only sells it as a kit that includes Pistons, Seals and Dust boots. $90 per caliper.
All I need is the rubber seals. Where can they be found?

I just got my Kit with my DRM setup. ASK them it was like $39 per caliper i think?
You can also try gmpartshouse.com which gets anything GM pretty cheap
you cant get it except as a kit I think.
You arent doing the dust boots at the same time?
OEM calipers dont like dust. Esp after your pad is 50% or more gone

I would buy OEM seals, it is a kit so you will get the boots also. Boots will burn off fast so I would keep then if you sell the car or use them in the winter.

Nope. Not for the c4/5 at least. The only caliper parts kits I've found have the rubber boots that go on the caliper pins, and the clips for the pads. No seal kits, no caliper boots...

I just bought some SS calipers from another forum member here, mainly because they came with boots/seals (also I knew I'd want to make this upgrade).

That stock number is for the C5, sorry I'm so used to buying parts for my C5s I didn't even bother to look for the C4.

Just take out your o-rings and find some viton o-ring stock to replace them with. If you can't find any at a hardware or autoparts store, get on McMaster Carr and order the size you need.
I'm lucky in that respect, we have drawers full of o-rings where I work. We go through them like water in the mill.
