Based on what I've read, yes. Unfortunately I didn't find this out until after I did the A8/TT upgrade, so I don't know for sure.

well the tt caliper uses the same spacing as a4 with the smaller mounts or it wouldn't work on all b5s. so i don't think the bigger size is possible. i know the b6 uses the larger spacing. i have a comparison picture somewhere ill throw up.

My car is an '01 1.8t with the factory Sport Package, which is essentially the same suspension as the S4.

The A8 brake up-grade will give it larger front rotors than those fitted stock to the S4 . . .

Don't forget, you have to have 16" wheels or bigger to upgrade the brakes...
