A vote for ATE- it's a known quantity on these cars. Swap both of 'em to ensure no funky problems surface.

--- Rebuilding 'em is easy if you have an air compressor- just don't split 'em (you'll never get it to seal up right again) just replace the piston o ring and main seals.

PS if you try to rebuild keep your hand away from the piston as you apply forced air to the caliper- it will shatter your hand when it comes out.
