Default Caliper nightmare

Just fitted some new pads an discs to my classic turbo and on the process found that one piston on each caliper was seized, I worked them free enuff to get new pads in , but they are pulling to on side so I'm wondering what you guys recommend in terms of big brake upgrade or like for like replacements or just new seals mayb , I'm just not sure which of the newer scoobys calipers will fit mine if any

Thanks

Give Ian a ring at Godspeed, but you'll need to tell HIM exactly what car it is
