Default Square cut seals and dust boot for 91' 240 caliper

I need some advice on the seals and dust boot for the caliper on my 240. I've been doing the brakes and I'm at the point now where I need to get new seals and reassemble the right front. Are there seals that are interchangeable with the seals used on the car? It would be nice to be able to use cheaper seals instead of the expensive ones (because they're not manufactured readily).
The seals I've found have been specialty only.

Also, is this the right part? The seals that I currently have aren't usable. Got rusted on, probably expanded, etc. Any advice?

Are you rebuilding your own calipers? Generally I have always bought the rebuilt ones. If you are rebuilding your own calipers you will also need o-rings that seal the two halves. The link you posted is for the rear calipers. There is another kit there but I doubt that it is for the front calipers as there are only two dust shields. Each front caliper requires four seals and dust shields.
