I could have the calipers overhauled for less than the kit from Monkfish as I work in the aftermarket parts game but all I need is one seal on one piston.

Would it not be better in long run to refurb the whole caliper or both , would they not be going wrong at the same time or are failures rare and random

If the front is a 330mm disc then that is the same PBR caliper as a C5 Corvette if that helps. I can't find any PBR rebuild numbers online, but there is a GM number/ACDelco number.
