The reman calipers that FCP Groton sells are good enough that the local Volvo dealer uses them. How's that for an endorsement? Never had a problem with a rebuilt caliper. Good used ones that are 100% free-moving should work fine as well, as long as you can get the bleeder screws to move.

Try to bleed as little as possible and do it slowly. It's not uncommon for the "Brake Failure" switch to apparently get stuck and you DON'T want to deal with that little distribution block under the master cylinder.
