Yeah I tried but that was before the air bag controller took a dump and I decided to just put the stock calipers back on.

What carriers is he using? So just to be clear... he's using B5 S4 brakes on a B5 A4?
They bolted right up, yes, B5 S4 brakes on a B5 A4 these are the BIG front ones.
Is he using TT carriers for 312mm rotors?

I don't think the TT caliper carriers work for the S4 calipers. The TT caliper is smaller than the S4 caliper. I believe you need the 3.0 caliper carrier.The twocaliper carriers have almost the same part number...the 3.0 caliper carrier part number is 8N0 615 125A and the TT caliper carrier part number is 8N0 615 125. I have both at home and they are different. The 3.0 carrier is meant to hold a larger caliper. Both carriers will bolt up to the B5 hub...I checked.
