Or maybe just replace the sliders and re-grease? New Calipers are $91/side at Autohaus which isn't horrible. Need to do pads/rotors as well.

Are you talking left and right sides or inside/outside?

your car will kick in the rear brakes as part of the low speed quattro that maybe the cause of the uneven wear

Inner/outer pads have worn differently. When I had the car inspected...

they said the calipers might be sticking.

if you want rear calipers, I'm putting S4 rears on soon. I have fronts as well.
