I'm keeping an eye out for those calipers as well. You can get them in kit form with floating rotors for a palsy $1700, but there have been kits pieced together for under $600.

Good choice. I have the BBK from Alcon. Stops. Thats my review. After having stock on my A4 and now the BBK on my S4 its a world of difference obviously. Now I just gotta get over the $300 for brake pads.

Stop right there! Pun intended. I am a firm believer in balanced braking. With only large, and yours are very large front brakes you will promote front dive on very hard brake application. With larger rear brakes you will end up with balanced braking. On my smaller car, which is a heavily modded A4, I have Boxster S calipers with 312x30 rotors. In the rear I have B5 S4 calipers and 300x22 B7 rotors. Several companies make kits for the B5. On my larger car, which is a 1993 urS4 I'm running the same 6 piston Cayenne calipers with 355x32 rotors and 993tt calipers with 314x30 rotors in the rear.

Good stuff. Brakes are always a good investment.

AWESOME! I'm sure those added some fun to your driving...

I just went from stock M3 brakes to Floating rotors etc w/ Hawk HT-10 pads and holy squishing organs batman

Have fun... Don't knock out too many passengers on the dash.
