Angry evil rear calipers

Hi everyone,
Looks like my Tbird needs brakes too. The calipers are frozen halfway between full contact and no contact, It makes a nasty grind while driving and doesn't stop worth a darn. While most brake jobs don't scare me, the price list for parts on this one does. 697 bucks for all four wheels? Most prices look ok, it's just the rear calipers that scare me. Anyone know where I can find some rear calipers for a 90 t-bird halfway decently priced?

Thanks,
Lee

Autozone has loaded calipers for your car-

$200 for a pair of rear calipers-this includes the $90 core charge-turn the old ones in and get that back

$119 for the front pair-includes a $41 core charge.

Both ends come with pads.

Replacing is easy-make sure you replace the rotors-these cannot be turned without causing severe braking problems or even failure due to splitting.
