[s-cars] Rear Brake Rotor Source? I think my caliper seized orsomething?

[tony.curran at sympatico.ca]

Rear rotors and pads can be obtained from www.ecstuning.com. You may want new calipers. There are several suppliers that have reconditioned ones try www.shokan.com or www.gprparts.com/OEMParts/audi.asp
