[s-cars] 1995.5 S6 Rear Brakes

[Martin Kozaczek]

I bought a pair of re-manufactured calipers from partsgeek.com and from Rick
@ www.importpartsspec.com.  Had some issues with one of the unites from IPS
but they stood by it and replaced it really quickly.

I run Pagid rear pads that I bought from Apikol and SS lines from Paragon
performance.
