I'm in need of more than a few yet.
Rear trunk struts, one of those eBay clear corners (only left one), Bilstein sport struts, RR caliper, RR rotor, RR pad, LR rotor, LR pad and a few other misc bits are all on my list.

Corey: Used rear brake parts are a waste of money, time and efflort. Remanned calipers only...
run around CDN$120 per side (or less) out here (Vancouver). I am sure that you can find them in Edmonton too for that sort of money. Rotors - you can try VM Autohaus in Burnaby or something local in Edmonton.
Fenco Reman Rear Caliper part No's: C8484 (Right) C8485 (Left)
Of course, that is my opinion. If you are looking for a rear break replacement procedure try the one I wrote up at the URL below<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/91480.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/91480.phtml</a</li></ul>

Calipers are best done in pairs.
like shocks or struts. Good luck finding good quality rebuilt calipers. Maybe those Fenco's that Dave was talking about are ok but the ARI front remans that I bought for my car were so crappy I sent them back and kept my originals (just my pins are worn out, I need to look into getting them). I think its even tougher to find a quality rebuilt rear caliper due to the parking brake mechanism, often they are worn out and frankly most rebuilt calipers are just glass beaded and have new seals.
