'83 Rear calipers

I don't want to mess up and get the wrong parts. I have a lsd/disc rear end coming my way that has seized calipers, looking to replace them as cheap as possible. Didn't see any for sale in the f/s sections so I went browsing online and came up with this:

http://www.discountautoparts.com/ite...=262083&mfr=A1 CARDONE&weight=8

That looks like a complete kit to me, I need 1 left and 1 right, is that correct? Can I find these any cheaper?

I was told they're completely seized to the disc. The axle has been sitting outside for some time. Maybe I'll try a rebuild kit first.

the axle has only been sitting out from under the car for a couple weeks, the calipers are not siezed to the rotors the piston just seems siezed, there is no pads in the calipers as I had to remove them to be able to roll the car after I took the motor out. They should be able to be rebuilt.

Well then my mistake on misunderstanding you, I'll order rebuild kits. John, do you have a PRO# for the shipment?
