Try JDM parts stores, they should sell the whole deal. For ease of install, get the whole assembly with the trailing arm. The JDM parts shops here in Toronto sell them with the ebrake cables and if you're really lucky the brake hoses too. $275CDN gets you a GSR front/rear bake setup.
One of the hardest parts of the job is getting all the old bolts out. If you're in a good climate like the southern states you'll probably be fine, but winters/rain/salt really makes a mess of an otherwise easy job. I've done the GSR brake swap and ITR brake swap up here and both times bolts had to be cut off/extracted/welded on to get things off. Have fun!
