Both my calipers were seized when I did my brake change a few weeks ago. SOunds like it is pretty common. I got reman parts, new rotors and new pads from my local shop, not the dealer. The stealer wanted $380 for each caliper. OUCH! As long as you get good ceramic aftermarket pads, they are as good as the factory pads. Yes, if you get the cheapo metallic pads they will produce a lot of dust, squeak and all that. I got the good pads for about $60 a pair, rotors were $60 each and painted on the inside to minimize corrosion, and then the calipers were like $140 each. Put everything on, bled the brakes and they work great. Its an easy change once you have the right parts.

One thing to note, my 2003 SR5 came with 17 inch rims, but my brake parts were for the 16 inch rims. DO NOT GET THE BIGGER ROTORS. They won't fit. If in doubt, take the old ones off and measure the diameter. I had the hassle of buying, returning, reinstalling which added to time and frustration.
