Audi Parts advice?
For those who drive Audis as DDs, where do you guys get your Audi parts. Is Autopartsway the best way to go? Was quoted $720 for a rear caliper from the dealer but it is $440 online with free shipping. Also any experience with TRW parts?(calliper brand)

You could try Rockauto, they are in the U.S. though , so calculate shipping/ core return.. you still might save $

TRW i think is OEM now for Audi/VW. Autopartsway have realllly good prices for Canada. Only other cheaper solution is Suncoast Porsche in FL, USA. Im sure 1 or 2 Rear caliper will fit a Large Flat Rate USPS Box to Canada. Talk to Rick at Suncoast.
Also i buy alot from www.ecstuning.com and www.mjmautohaus.com
im getting my Front Brakes & Parts from ECU Tuning for my C4S in the next week or so

Shop around if you can wait for shipped items. Mark Motors in Ottawa has discounts to the local Audi group. If you ever need a hand I am close to the dealer and can pack and ship stuff for you.

check your local autoparts stores as well....
being that u probably get a credit for a core, it might save u money, as u won't have to pay for the return shipping.
Locally, I've used Bensons, and PartSource, you can request the TRW brand if that's what's recommended.
If the piston isn't in bad shape, you can also get a seal kit from the dealer.... it wasn't hard to do the rebuild. I did it on a rear caliper on my Jetta last year. Say $30 for a seal kit.

EDIT: ****... I just noticed that you're in Halifax, NS. Give em a call any way you may wind up spending less with quicker service. I wouldn't be surprised if they did work for Parts Source and others.

"Worldpac" or "autocamping" both local Canadian outlets/warehouses, great prices & availability, check them out before ordering elsewhere outside of Canada, otherwise "Pelican" is pretty decent, though retail & the US, well.....there's lots of places
