  I tried a set of rebuilt calipers from Blau, One ended up rusting terribly
while the other one had a nice Cadmium finish which stayed. Come to find out
they or whoever they have rebuild their calipers buys new calipers
occasionally to match up if they don't have enough cores, hence the nicer
Cad. Caliper. Well, sure enough, only a year to a year and a half the other
calipers E-brake started to hang up. I ended up sending them to
http://www.goldlinebrakes.com and he did a fabulous job. I first called him
and he was very familiar with the VW Audi rear caliper problem. He also does
a nice baked-on Epoxy finish ( I chose black to match my 996 front
calipers). I have had them on for two years now without a sign of problems
and the finish still looks great. For now I would recommend him as less
expensive than new with a better finish. But as far as other rebuilt
calipers I wouldn't bother but others may be able to chime in with success
stories.  MGH
