[s-cars] Rear Brake Calipers

  Another set of bad lousy Audi rear Brake calipers on my S6. I had a few
problems with my old 5KQ and when I did my BIRA kit on my S6 I put on a
rebuilt set of rear calipers from Blau and now with only 20K on them in the
Northwest where they DO NOT use salt I already have one that is sticking.
Does anyone mod these to fix this obvious inherent problem with Audi rear
Brake calipers?
P.S.  I purchased a used set of the newer Audi Aluminum rear Calipers but
haven't had enough time to compare to convert them to the rear on my car. I
did see one problem and that was in the rear brake cable not being long
enough and I believe the end that hooks to the caliper was wrong. The A4
cable with the proper end was even shorter so just using A4 cables wouldn't
work. Maybe I'll look into these some more rather than replacing with the
Cast Iron crud although I have heard some of the same stories about the
newer Audi Aluminum calipers too. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, MGH
