I got the calipers, brackets and handbrake cables with very thick discs and
pads for $80 at the u-pull-it down here, keep your eyes open and bargains
can be had!
Skyline or Pintara sedans or wagons are suitable donors. Let me know if
you'd like some instructions for pulling them off a donor car.

second hand oyu can get everything from the wreckers here in perth for $200
or less
but then you need to recondition calipers etc.
best bet check out the maddat website, he sells a whole kit, all new
components
http://www.gofast.to/maddat/
bit of a price difference, but all new components..
