Red face ABS Speed Sensor? Where/Which to buy?

I've had an ABS light for a while now, I've finally decided to get rid of it. It turns out that the problem is the rear speed sensor in the right side. My mechanic and I have been looking for it, and it looks that they only sell it at the stealership.
I don't plan to give them any of my money, so I looked online and found them here:

I really can't spend a lot of money on this, so I was thinking on the least expensive options:

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...gs+Best+Seller
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...%26+Drivetrain
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...gs+Best+Seller

Has any of you had any experience buying these parts?
Which one would you suggest?

I'll appreciate your help!

I wasn't able to get your links to work for me. I can tell you the OEM rear sensor should be 8D0-927-807-F for 135.00 dollars. If you have the headlight level sensor system then you'd use a more expensive abs sensor at 180.00 dollars. I'd need your vin # to determine which sensor you would need.

I just sent you my VIN in a PM
Hope you can give me the part # and price, thanks!

Default amazon.com has ABS Sensors for chip price

I have '96 A4 Quattro. 2.8. Be EXTREMELY Careful. You will NOT be able to pull out ABS sensor from the copper clamping sleeve so probably you will have to buy NEW clamping sleeve. I bought my ABS Sensor on amazon around $20, but I had to change the rubber garment and use the OLD one. DO NOT rip the old rubber garment. You will also need that copper clamping sleeve that it holds the ABS sensor. That I had to order from California because that was the only place where I found it. It was around $10 at that time if I remember good, but from what I can see now it's $11.38. Here is the direct link to see how it looks like.

It wasn't big deal. ABS Sensor was easy. Good Luck to you.

The amazon link you posted says that the sensor is for the front wheels, there was a link to the sensor for the rear wheels http://amzn.com/B002NTHADQ would this be the one sensor I'm looking for?
Did you change the rear or front sensor in your A4?

Also, the link to rmeuropean didn't work for me, could you re-post it?

Thanks!!!

Red face Wrong part?

So I bought the piece you guys suggested, but it turned out to be the wrong part for my car.
My mechanic told me that the one for my car needs that little thing at the end that allows you attach it to the car using a bolt, like this one: Amazon.com: 04-08 Audi ABS Speed Sensor FRONT 8E0927803B A4 S4 RS4 Quattro 04 05 06 07 08: Automotive

So I guess I'm looking for this one, right? http://r.ebay.com/xFTOyj

Any ideas guys?

I'll appreciate your help!
