a set of stock S4 calipers they'd be willing to part with?

Why Audi put the smaller A4 rear setup on the much heavier allroad is beyond me.

Default The allroad has 255x10 solid rear rotors and calipers that look identical to the A4 ones.

The braking in the car is VERY front biased. I'd like to upgrade it to S4 calipers with the S8 carriers and rotors in the back along with some better pads in the front.

I believe you need new calipers as well. The wider rotor won't fit.
