A Caliper seal kit is $15.23+shipping per side.
I would avoid using non OE parts, the rubber tends not to last as long. As
Tegger noted, use Sil-Glyde silicone grease. AGS,
http://www.agscompany.com, makes two different types. One is "Brake
Lubricant" and the other is regular Sil-Glyde. I'm not sure what the
differences are between the two. If you read the MSDS sheets for the two,
then you'll note that they're very similar. I use regular Sil-Glyde and
have not had a problem with it.
