I have found some reman calipers. Think that's the next step. Will definitely let 8know the outcome.
so this brings up a question I have...I have the Boxster S and should I want to rebuild the calipers, the kits are unreasonably expensive.
Aren't these 4 piston Brembo?

36mm/40mm Front Pistons
28mm/30mm Rear Pistons?

why cant I just get a brembo rebuild kit in the proper caliper sizes? Is there an alternative to the kits anyone can turn us onto?
