68 brake calipers
I just pulled off all four brake calipers. I'm considering rebuilding with stainless steel sleeves. I heard there is someone or company in Florida that provides this service. Can anyone make a suggestion? Any idea of the cost? Also, I have read there is an upgrade to o-ring style calipers from the factory style lip seals. Is this the way to go?
Thanks in advance!

You're not limited to a specific company. Almost all the Corvette vendors carry stainless steel sleeved calipers, usually with exchange of your originals for cores. O-rings are also an option.

Maybe I was not clear. I'm considering getting mine rebuilt and keeping the original. Should I get them rebuilt with o-rings? Any idea of the cost?
