Sounds like it bolts right on...seems to be a great choice to me...
I was concerned about replacement part costs too, but at the savings over any comparable BBK to begin with should make it worth it...Also, I expect more aftermarket parts that are compatible to emerge sometime...

Brembo 6 piston calipers from Cayenne and Brembo 345mm rotors
for half of the price it is a pretty good deal me thinks.
I am running this setup as well as 4 or more S4 people.
They all seem to really like it.
I know that the S4's stop in a heartbeat :-)

Meh. If all you want is bling I guess.
At that money either get a real BBK (Stoptec/Brembo/Alcon) or save money and get the ECS kit as it offers better rotors, lower price, and more pad selection with much easier pad replacement.

Bling? that is a BBK made by Brembo with Brembo rotors and it's by far cheaper than most others.
You can't convince me the stock brembo 2-piece rotors are not better than stoptech rotors no matter what you say. It doesn't matter really because I just posted them as an option to see if anyone had more insight on them but so far they seem like a great option.

Well coming from the vw world I know a lot of people who upgraded their brakes with flashy porsche calipers from ecs and didn't track their cars including myself. I had the ecs kit on my 20th because I wanted better brakes and it complimented the look of the car. I know you s4 guys are much more into the motorsport aspect. So if anything I think this would be less flashy. imho
