Default Rear brake question

I have a 93 si hb with rear disk brakes but the calipers have both froze even with me driving it everyday. The left hand side did this about 4 months ago so i took it apart and the piston had rusted to the caliper, i cleaned it up and put it back together seems to work but i don't trust it. Now the right hand side is doing the same thing and gets very very hot to where you can't even touch the wheel. Can i just swap these out with the rear brakes off a 99 si? if so what all will i need to do it? seems like it would be a bolt on afair.

I've looked into refabed calipers but they want $150 or more each and that's with the core charge taken off. I was told that i may need to replace the trailing arm with the new Si trailing arm, anyone know if this is necessary? Also last time i looked at the bushings in the trailing arms they seemed to have lots of small crackes in them, because of this i'm probly going to swap the trailing arms anyway. How much of a effect on handling do these bushings have? I notices when i turn the car sharply back and forth the tail end takes a second to follow the front, it feels quite strange.
