I just went thru this process on my '68 Firebird with the 4 piston calipers.
I bought the "rebuild kit" from Autozone ($20)also. It is only the rubber seals. Unfortunately these were not the issue for mine. My calipers were already rebuilt/resleeved and the cylinder walls were scored. Also, the pistons themselves were rather pitted. After replacing the seals, it leaked just as bad.
I searched a while for replacment calipers and found the pricing about the same $179 - $189 each + $100 core charge. Ulitmately, I pucharchased one from the Paddock (Sorry PY, their price was the same, but no core was required).
If just your pistons are pitted, you can replace them as well (about $25 each) in addition to the seal kit. (I just found pistons thru GMPartsdirect.com for the Camaro for $12.50--not positive these are the same diameter pistons though)
