[s-cars] Rear brake calipers

[Bluemaxww1 at aol.com]

The A8 rear caliper is a bolt up to the UrS carriers.  The caliper is  
aluminum and it is a center pull ebrake as is the UrS calipers.  The  location of 
the ebrake hookup is a little different, but should work.  You  will need to 
ream out the ebrake cable stop, because it is a little smaller on  the A8 caliper.
 
You can see pictures of both calipers on this write up I did when, I  did an 
upgrade on the rear brakes on my coupe.

The  S-bitch has frequently seen temperatures below -20F with no sticking
rear  caliper issue so I don't think the problem you're experiencing is
caused by  a design flaw in the urS calipers. Simply, the grease in the hand
brake  mechanism is old, probably mixed with a good deal of rust powder, and
a  full rebuild of the calipers should solve the problem for several  years.
