Just got my LS calipers back from the powder coaters and I have to say I'm very happy with the results. 
They look brand spanking new. Now I'm just waiting on my StopTech cross/slotted rotors, SS lines and FIGS RCA. Such a pain in the *** to take these apart and rebuild them

To have them powdercoated including glass bead blasting it was $180 for the set. I was just complaining about the rebuild just because its time consuming and one of the pistons was seized which was a real b*tch to get at.

you shold have sent them to me, i could have got them powder-coated from my local guy who does all my green stuff for under $100. i would bet it wouldn't haven't been that high either but maybe $75 but who knows. you should make a DIY tutorial for the LS and hell even the OEM rears. i was gonna make some awhile ago for the LS ones till i decided to sell them and get my stoptechshow much was rear rebuild kit? and since you have it already, part #? i have a spare set i wouldnt mind getting powdercoated and rebuilding...
shortly im gonna do my RMM strut bar and SRT intake, just not in the normal green i use.....maybe orange this time like a pumpkin
JUST KIDDING IM NOT GONNA DO ORANGE

The rebuild kits I bought are aftermarket. The price of the OEM ones from the dealer are a joke.

The re-build kits here is Japan are around $35- I think from memory?
Toyota part numbers are:
04479-30221 rear 2 pots
04479-50091 LS 4 pots
They come with a small satchel of grease, the rubber seals, rubber bleed cap and line washers.

EDIT: By the way, that powder coat is epic! I love it. Please take some more pics when it's back together and also fitted please!

Those calipers look sick powder coated. Shoulda have powder coated mine as well.
I just took pictures of my LS4 brake kit installed yesterday. Not powder coated just brake paint, Here's the breakdown cost wise $160 for the pair of LS4 drilled & slotted StopTech/Centric Rotors, $90 for Akebono PRO brake pads, $120 for the LS4 Sumitomo Brake Calipers, $6 can of paint. Labor to bleed brakes, cut dust shield and install $150. Total $520
You can see in the pics I have the exact motorsport RCA kit installed, got that done with the brake kit as well.
You can check out more pics of my build here:
