The powersteering pumps brand new arent expensive. I bought one from autozone for like 55 bucks. You just need to keep the pully from your old pump and throw it on the new one. Its not a hard job at all. As for the rear caliper, If you dont have one it might be hard to find a used original one. Theres a good wedsite www.forced4.com that sells most of the original breaking parts brand new. While youre at it, you should rebuild all the calipers to make sure none of the pistons are sticking. The rebuild kits are like 3-4 bucks its just 2 rubber seals. Everything on this car is easy to work with.
