What is opinion here, can I repair the brake pistons with new boots (and maybe brake pistons if needed to) or is there bigger issue to deal with (like machining work etc)?

I'd like to manage to keep these calipers if the repair is rather simple, but if there is larger issue to deal, I'll try to find used S-model brake calipers to replace these with.

I've tried re boring calipers, master, and slave cylinders... never really had much luck. they always seem to weep when I'm done. I havent even attempted to rebuild any in years, just get a new one.

Looks like you don't need any re-boring or replacement of pistons, just some boots. Thats easy, just buy some boots and put them on with a hook and pick. You could find Porsche parts but I'm sure this is not the only car to use these brakes (hint).
