A kit is cheap from Subaru. Just get it from them. Alternatively, Godspeed do a complete rebuild and paint service which isn't too badly priced if your existing calipers need a big overhaul.

If you are doing it yourself, bank on a full weekend to do it properly, your biggest problem will be getting the pistons out, they tend to go rusty and get pitted just under the outer seal.
This can be cleaned up with some very fine wire wool or 1000 grit wet and dry paper.
The tip to get the pistons out is to leave the calliper on the car and use the hydraulic pressure to pump the stiff ones out, whilst holding the others back.
Halfords calliper paint works well and tends to last.

Yes they are a bugger to get out if they're seized. I wouldn't do it myself again for fun.
