Do you mean the actual piston boot?

If yes, then I would recommend replacing the caliper (or actually both rear calipers at the same time).

Try to get it from a dealer - I doubt there are any different brands of boots.

To replace just the boot, you'll have to essentially rebuild the caliper. Not sure if that is something I would recommend taking on yourself. You can rebuilt rear calipers from www.partsamerica.com for 79 bucks a piece (after core charge) with lifetime warranty.
