S8 Rotors and S8 caliper barckets - would they be a good match for B7 RS4 fronts ?

After reading the posts for the B7 RS4 rear brake install and seeing how relatively complicated it is, I am now thinking about 280 mm S8 rotors and caliper brackets

i would think you'd want something a little larger -- and greater piston area -- considering the

size and clamping power of the B7 RS4 brakes.

2nd b6 S4 rears are 300mm that is a little better. stasis are 306 IIRC

i dont recal what RS4 rears are.

Are the B7 S4 rears an easy upgrade?

i have not looked to see if they are compatible to tell you the truth

i assumed because the B6/B7 S4 fronts are bolt on. though i would guess since the rotors are thicker you would need carriers/calipers/rotors/pads. with that said i dont know if it would be cheaper than stasis TS.
