Brake pad retaining pins

[Stew]

Hi all so have the rs4 up on stands for the winter ready for pampering new brake lines good clean in round suspension etc but during the summer I had put new pads in but pins were seized and would not move so now that I have the calipers off was going to replace the pins with new ones where's the best place to buy theses would rather not buy off Audi as I would guess they would be over priced as usual also wats the best brake fluid to replace with thanks in advance stew.

Last time I changed my front discs and pads the driver side had a pin seized solid and I ended up having to break it to get it out. Couldn't seem to find replacement pins for that calliper type and ended up making one myself, but if you do happen to source them I'd love to know where from ready for when I do the rears.

Rears are different - floating caliper set up, no retaining pins.

Thanks for the replies guys think I might look into seeing a Machine Shop although was talking to a guy today who took caliper off and was trying to hammer pins out and broke the lug off the caliper don't want to be doing that he said just leave as is take caliper off when changing pads !!
