LS1 Front Brakes: Squeeking

Well today took the car out for a spirited drive since it was nice out finnaly and the front driver side brake began squeaking once again. About a year ago it began to and I replaced the pads as they were worn out, unevenly towards the inside of the rotor. I got the rotors cut and replaced the pads. One of the pistons on the caliper seemed to be sticking at first but I did not think that was the problem at the time. The rubber boots on the pistons now appear to be cracked and worn out.

I am pretty sure that is the problem. Looking through Napa's online catalog I see this
Caliper Hardware Kit - Front:

Would those be the rubber boots I need?


. Or Should I just go with a re manufactured caliper? They seem to be around $60 with pads which is not terribly bad. Or is there a better thing to do.

Thanks!
