ON Brake Caliper Rebuilt

Does anyone know of a good place around the GTA to get my FD Brake Calipers rebuilt. I know about Midwest Calipers in Scarborough but would rather try someone else. If you use someone LMK.
Thanks
Just one of my many winter projects. FD really means Financial Disaster!

I have a spare set of functioning calipers for an FD, front and rears. Buy them and practice rebuilding them.

Oooo and if you ever split the 4 piston calipers apart, you'll notice 2 small round o-rings that join the two halfs together. Mazda doesn't sell them and they seem to be very hard to find. I bought 20 of them from a place in the US that work perfect. Bitches are expensive, like $10 each.

^You don't need to split them apart though, the write-up I followed said don't bother.
