Rear brake calipers are expensive because of the parking brake set-up. If I'm right (which I rarely am) the only car to share the 914's OEM rear brakes is some model Ferrari. So the Ferrari guys buy them all up.

That second sentence may be totally unsubstantiated BS, but I heard it somewhere, so I'll repeat it here.
