Go to car quest, the rebuild kits are real cheap.

I got mine from http://www.expressautoparts.com , I think it was made by AutoSpecialties, and it cost $10. Carparts.com and Wrenchhead.com are other places. The caliper rebuild is almost fun- just put the caliper in a pan when you "work the parking brake lever to eject the piston"- I did that in my lap, and got my buddies drenched in old brake fluid!
