If you could wait a bit, another member has a set of calipers/brackets for the rear for sale.

But to answer your question, yes, everything is available to purchase. Should be available at any Napa, Advanced Auto, Autozone or retailer of your choice.

You will need to remove the c-clips and the axle shafts themselves to swap the backing plates, but it all is the same on the end of the axle tube so everything should swap over just fine.
