Default Your dealer can't supply OEM parts?

Go to another dealer!

If you need to save cash you might find that Lucus makes the calipers in another country and then imports them back into Germany.

Buy them from the Country of manufacture like South America you can save up to 50%!

A $2000 Aus plus clutch was only $700 Aus from South Africa.

Default Audi out sources the B5 S4 caliper to Lucus.

The dealership showed me the parts they can order, but the part I need wasn't among those listed.

You can't buy individual caliper parts other than a few seals. Gots to buy the whole thing.

Default Then you may be getting close to what I am...

...chucking the B5 calipers and going with Stoptech or Brembo. Oh, the pain.
