Seized caliper sg5 forester

Rear left caliper is seized on the forester xt..
What's a decent brand to replace it with, seems to be a big difference in price with some brands.

Does anyone know if sf5 forester rear Calipers are the same ?

I’d imagine they are but rear brakes can be funny with different calipers and carrier brackets .

Sometimes the carrier is different and then the pads could be different shape

Mate of mine selling these if they're any use - he upgraded his brakes all round, these were working fine when he took them off : https://www.adverts.ie/exterior-parts/rear-brake-calipers-with-brembo-discs-and-pads/28303340

Got the replacement sf5 rear caliper yesterday. Fitted and solved problem.
Hopefully that's it now for awhile
