Check with AutoZone for something local. They do have the sleeved calipers available. Don't know about cores, but they will probably want them.
Always replace brakes parts in pairs. (or all four, if possible)

[QUOTE=zgator]I konw what you mean.I've got one rear that the shop can't bleed all the air out.I just got a new MC and boster installed by the shop under their 90 day warrenty on parts and labor.Thats how we found the problem.I've still got brakes but they are soft and my brake light is starting to come on.So for right now I'm going to replace both rear ones and do the front soon.[/QUOTE]
i would buy an o-ring rebuild kit from vette brakes and products and be done with it.

[QUOTE=zgator]Well I was going to do that but it's the bleeder that is causing the problem.It was stuck and they got it to bleed just a little. it wouldn't come out any further without it braking off.[/QUOTE]
use a torch and if it breaks.. use an extractor..

I used these guys thru my mechanic as they are wholesale only http://www.lonestarcaliper.com. I got all four for either $75 or $100 each. They are the stainless sleeve calipers. I also changed to stainless flex lines and had to add the front hard line due to seized lines.
She now bites hard and stays bled.
Good luck
