Unhappy BRAKE ISSUE. QUICK QUESTION...

i have a 2001 mustang. My rear passenger brake started making noise, then started leaking after a week. I brought it in to a midas today, and they said that I needed new rear brake pads, rotors, and calipers, and new brake fluid. He showed me the calipers, and one of them definitely needs replacing. my estimate came out to 720 originally, and i talked him down to 600... and i still told him to hold off... but question.. im looking online and the calipers he said he could get for me were 180 EACH, and pads/rotors for 60 each. is that about right? it seems a little high from what im finding online, but i might be missing something. should i go somewhere else? buy the parts myself?

Not really sure here, but if you buy the parts yourself will Midas put them in? This brings up my own question on brakes. On my '92 LX convertible, the brakes squeek when I first step on the pedal. But if I pump the pedal a few times, the squeek seems to go away. Got any ideas? Does Midas offer free brake inspection?
