Default Torn dust boot in the caliper...options

I've seen the Pelican Parts ~80 per caliper option, which includes the pistons. I just tore a dust boot on on piston on one caliper. I was hoping ideally just to replace that, or do all of them in a caliper. But at 80k miles, I have to believe the pistons themselves are fine. Porsche seems to only sell kits including the pistons, and several threads here speak of poor-fitting after market.

Has anyone found a source for OEM dust boots only?

Thanks,

I purchased new Brembo seals from Hoerr Racing Products

Here are the SKU numbers and prices for the standard 993 brakes (not big reds).

Thx guys. The car only has 80k so I can't imagine the pistons need replacing. Any issue in aftermarket seals on stock pistons?
