Default S8 rotor for S4?

Hi all,

I will need to replace my rotor and pad soon. Instead of replacing it with stock size rotor, I am thinking of spending a little more to the rotor for better performace. However, big brake kit is out of question at this moment ($$$$$) so I am wondering will S8 rotor fits S4 (btw, I have BBS 19" wheel, so I think I have more space / clearance).

If S8 doesn't fit, what about Porsche (e.g. 996? Boxster? 993?)

Thanks!!

Matthew

I have s8 rears, calipers are the same, the carriers are different. Rim clearance is not an issue.

For both front and rear (30% pad left, and rotor swap is noticeable).

So seems like S8 only fits rear?

Any other good combination of rotor / pad (and/or even calipers) besides the "Big Red" kit that you guys experienced and feel good about?

Thanks in advance!!

Matthew
