Default OMG rear caliper floating pins are expensive....SMOKIESMAN come to the rescue.

So i have a seazed rear caliper pin and went to the local import store the other day and "i thought i ordered them". So i swing by today to pick them up and they just give me the rubber boots and the bolts. WTF? Then the guy tells me that he thought thats' what i wanted. So after a little better explanation from me and 10 mins of the guy trying to find the part number, he calls the supplier and quotes me $60 for the 2 pins. I just said no thanx and walked out. So Smokie do you have a rear passenger side calliper carrier with good pins for me? IF you do let me know please.
