Get second hand ones if not new seals. Because I reckon if you change you them your insurance company might call them a "mod" even though they will be better breaks

Id order seal kit for it. The piston may be fine just seized.
No guarantee if you buy secondhand that they will be any better.
Uprated brakes (jimny / vit calipers) do count as insurance mods as they affect he vehicles performance. My Volvo had AP Racing 4 pot calipers on the front and they had to be declared.

Take the caliper off and get the piston to move in a vice, refit it, and try your brakes again. Do NOT run without pads.

If you can get the piston all the way out, try rubbing the piston with wire wool, and rubbing the piston seal down with brake fluid before putting it back together.
If that doesn't help, then you'll just have to wait for the seal kit.
