Anyone have Porsche Big Reds on their A4s yet? Impressions, thoughts?

I disagree
It's not as simple as "let's tack on a larger caliper and rotor". The Stoptech brakes are designed for Audi. You have different weight distribution, drive wheels and engine placement. On top of that the A4 is between 200-700Lbs heavier depending on specs.
There have been plenty of people on the S4 forum who have preferred the Stoptech over Brembo. In fact C&D did a shootout between the Brembo, Stoptech, Prodrive, and others. The Stoptech came out ahead in fade reduction.
Don Istook has also used the Stoptech rotors in the past an gave a glowing review. Check the S4 forum. There are plenty of reviews and information there. The AP Racing also seems to be a good upgrade and if you're looking for the best, go Alcon. I'm not biased towards StopTech by any means, but it is a great upgrade, and at 2K a good deal. The Brembo fronts are 3K.

What they do is design brackets to fit on an Audi car with Porsche or Audi parts.....
They have people in that group who know their stuff. I tested my car with their set up in 95F weather on a race track 30 minutes at a time and got no fade. The brake pedal remained hard and constant throughout the events.
