NEVER even attempt to buy parts from dealer

So like I went to get my rear brakes fixed today. The rotors were slightly warped and the calipers were sticking a little. The mechanic calls the Audi parts wearhouse and they say they'll charge me:
60 bucks for each rotor (not even ventilated)
165 bucks for each caliper!!!
That's a total of over 400 bucks! Filter in the labor and you have a classic Audi overcharge!
I'm stickin' to Audiquattroparts.com and my toolset!

I just did the rear brakes on my '90 100. Rear calipers "loaded", meaning with pads installed were 99.00. Prices from various rebuilders went as low as $55.00 withut pads. With "slight" warpage, why didn't you just turn the rotors? These prices from my local "Parts America".

Yeah I heard about the cheaper ones. The ones I got were OEM quality so at least I have some peace of mind and a waranty.
Tom, I didn't spin or resurface the rotors because they were already too think and one looked like it could have cracked in the near future. So here I am, slightly poorer!
