More expensive, yes, a small fortune, no.  The V8Q caliper was cheaper
than the caliper I changed on a 1990 200Q Wagon (same vented disks in the
rear as the 1991 20V.)  Price on the rear loaded calipers was somewhere
around $80 rebuilt when I changed them at the beginning of the year.
Just picked up a set of rear vented disks for a V8Q, around $50 each,
about double what the non-vented cost, but still not that bad.
