Not a good idea. The S4 is a heavier car so it has higher spring rates than the A4. That means you won't get the drop you are looking for. It's been said time and time again to skip on S4 suspension.

they will fit, but the ride won't be good, you may get excessive bouncing on certain road conditions...they're developed for a car that weighs considerably more than your A4, so the spring rates won't work well with it at all

The suspension is different iirc for quattro non/quattro cars anyway.

If I understand correctly, my 05 Quattro Sport has the same suspension as the S4. Or so they told me.
