     Carquest has rebuilt rear calipers for 200Q/V8/S4 etc., $88.25 each 
     exchange, $50 core.  Carriers and guide pin boots are not included.  I 
     know one Audi dealer that uses them routinely, rather than buying new 
     ones.  (The local parts store actually stocks rebuilt rear calipers 
     for the 100!)
     
     I'll be fitting mine this weekend, along with new rear cables, a
Ned-ified 
     Motronic box, and some other stuff.  One of these days I'll have time
to 
     resub...
     
     HTH!
