[s-cars] Looking to order rear calipers at reasonable cost

Does anyone have any recent experience finding a good place to order 
rear calipers from at a reasonable price?  I've tried a few of the 
usual, but so far most either don't carry them or have high prices.

I had found Autohaus AZ had good prices, but when I tried to place an 
order with them they refused to deal with Canadian customers who want 
shipping to anyplace other than the home address registered with the 
credit card company (I have all my US orders shipped to a UPS store just 
over the border from me - cuts shipping costs by 50%-90% and reduces the 
otherwise obscenely high brokerage fees to $0).

Really bad customer service (the worst I've encountered so far ordering 
parts for my S4), and I've had no problems with this anywhere else I've 
ordered from over the last ten years.  They wanted to ship directly to 
my home address in Canada and nowhere else (and I'm not home during the 
day anyways to receive a parcel anyways), but instead of the free 
shipping offered to US addresses, they wanted to charge me over two 
hundred dollars for the shipping and brokerage fees.  You can image 
where I told them they could stuff it.  :o)

Won't be recommending them to any one, that's for sure.

So now I need to find someplace else with decent prices on rear calipers.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
