    the front calipers and rotors WILL NOT work for you unless you purchase s4 uprights, they WILL NOT fit your a4 uprights. As far as the rear i believe you can use the s4 calipers with an aftermarket carrier and a6 rotors. and i just seen you said you arent getting the rear calipers so basically everything your getting is useless 4 you........

    Re: newbie question...brakes

    That stuff won't really help you. The usual brake upgrade is TT carriers, A8 Rotors and stock A4 calipers for the front, and S4 rotors calipers and carriers for the back.

    You can sell decent S4 calipers for about 200 bucks. That is all the good they will do for you.

    Can you tell please wich MY A8 parts were used???
    and the TT parts also.
    and how did the old caliper was mounted on a 30mm thick rotor???
    when I installed new rotors and pads on the front they barely fit original 25mm rotor.
    so any detailed infos would be nice.
