i know the parts department at any dealerships would have them, but let's say if i'd like to avoid being riped off where else should i look?

why would the rear calipers on a 1.8 be any different than the 3.0?

thought of that too, but the likelyhood of finding one around here is almost 0... maybe in Seattle?

I was under the impression only the rotors were larger.

Default You only need the rotor and the 3.0 caliper bracket...
The calipers are the same in the rear, but the different bracket is required, according to the master... <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/535103.phtml">Jet Jockey's Post</a>
