No, S4 rotors are vented, wider, and slightly larger diameter 256mm vs 245mm

Default You would have to upgrade everything but the pads...

...afaik, there is no increase in performance, as the front brakes do 70% of the work. That inside rear brake is just along for the ride.

Default Did you know I'm selling my Stoptech big brake kit for the A4 brand new $1,995 with...

...rear stainless Steel lines and Motul brake fluid included. I'm in NH too. Bought the S, so I'm not upgrading the A4 to SIII.

We've chatted before...I don't post too much though because of work and more work.

If you change your mind about the brakes E-mail me...I'm only 30 minutes from Rochester!
