Default Why are VAG rear calipers crap???

Hi

i had a new rear caliper in January 2008 and it has already siezed. I had both rear calipers deseized in April 2009 and the handbrake has approx 4" of free travel before it moves the calipers (ie slack cable) . Both cables are fine.

Speaking to my mechanic he said late 80s early 90s VAG rear calipers always seize (the reason why people put golf mk4 calipers on golf mk2).

Can any later audi calipers be fitted to the rear of my 1990 audi 100 quattro???
