There's something to be said for getting a kit with everything you need. I've pulled used ones from parts cars and rebuilding them is less expensive. In my part of the country used sets will cost $250-300, then new bearings, rebuilt calipers with new pads, new rubber hoses, rebuilt master cylinder. If you get used though remember to get the "L" shaped bracket off the frame that the rubber hose attaches to (different on drum setups) and the brake distribution valve.
