infinti g35x 2008

Dealer said I need a whole new brake set for my passenger rear wheel
(caliper, rotor, pads) because its seized/stuck. I've paid to un-seize it many months ago but I was told its only a temporary fix.
IIRC I got quoted $1200 for parts and labor.

Seems like the parts can be had for 200-300 online but I have 0 knowledge on what brand is reliable and worth the value.

If I were to buy all the parts and take it to the shop, what would I need to buy? Is it literally just caliper, rotor and brakes? Would I need to buy matching set for the other wheel just because?

Edit: oh and another new problem i have is that my radiator fan is prtty much running on max even though engine temp is normal. I was quoted 150$ to diagnose the problem and who knows how much more.
