ABS Brakes have the kits, Nissan also have them for about the same price.
But SIT DOWN for the price.. if your worried about clips on the grill being $2.. your going to have a cardiac arrest on the caliper kits..
Front or rear was $112.. cant remember which now...
piss easy job. You can do on own at home.
Rear calipers are bad on GQs they always sieze.. BUT.. if the piston is fubar, you are up for mega.. :(

Once Piston removed, the bore can be CAREFULLY cleaned up with GENTLE rubbing with steel wool lubricated with brake fluid. As the bore/piston are chrome plated, you will only be able to clean up any slight inperfections--if theres any bad rust on the piston, it will destroy the seal. Make sure you only clean bore in circles..
Make sure caliper pins are clean and lubed while youre there
