New Front Calipers

I'm changing my brakes and I've noticed that my calipers are proabably in pretty bad shape. Is it worth it to rebild em or can I get a set a quality stock ones for a descent price. I plan to upgrade in a year or two but I need something that will work well in the mean time. Thx.

The talk here has been that good new ones are pretty cheap.

I just replaced mine...17.00 each after I returned the cores...
I like warranty's, and with it getting cold and miserable here, it just made sense...And now we stop on the dime with 9 cents change... and we stop straight now
