This was a completely new design of the older VAG calipers I did....based on the current GOLF or AUDI A3, A4 , A6 ...
This is the Quattro version (with 38 piston)Here one of them mounted on an Audi 100 quattro.
These things have dual o-rings for better water intrusion....I designed them to last A LONG TIME!

And NO they do not cost an arm or leg...I offer these at less then 1/4 price of VAG...plus I throw in new brackets and pads.

Where to find our more about these things?-->

Do you have intensions of doing the sport quattro replacement caliper? I see that at the moment it says "Not Available Yet"....

excellent instructions Phil, and most of it can be applied to any car (?).
I regularly had problems with the B3, but I never did fit the Scorpio springs - and then they were NLA- but at least once a year I'd spray the pivot area and work it back and forwards. Water and dirt could get in so easily, a simple O ring seal or even boot would have made a huge difference. I suspect with dirt in and the oil all I was really doing was making it worse - like loosening it up with grinding paste
