If you go the rebuilt calipers route, you want to use Beck Arnley calipers, and
nothing else.  Audi calipers have this one seal that is particularly difficult
to R&R, and Beck is the only one who can do it without the calipers developing
a leak within 6 months.  Most import auto parts stores stock Beck Arnley, and
altho there is a nation-wide backorder on the rear calipers for the Audi's, you
can order the calipers loaded (comes with carriers & pads) for not much more
$$, and the loaded ones are relatively abundant (I did the rear calipers on my
TQ a few months ago...)  Good luck!
