Hi everyone,
About two years ago I bought rebuilt rear calipers for an 89 200q ...
parking brake levers on both are now stiff.  These were rebuilt by
Beck-Arnley which I read somewhere is one of the only rebuilders to do an
acceptable job.  At the time I was shopping I asked Rod at TPC and he said
he will not sell rebuilt rear calipers cause he does not know of any
reliable rebuilders.

Now I see the following interesting offer on Blaufergnugen's website ...
http://www.audiquattroparts.com/calipers.htm

They offer the following for $120 plus $80 core charge ...
NEW REAR caliper WITH carrier bracket and installation instructions.
ALL Quattro Mdls (84-92)
[excluding: 200Q20V, V8, S4, S6]


This is about what I paid for the rebuilt calipers two years ago, and these
include the carriers!
Is this too good to be true?
