Default PORSCHE BRAKES ON AN '04 S4?

I recently bought a 2004 s4 avant and am going through a few upgrades. The car already has a new exhaust, chip, and intake. A buddy of mine has a a full set of Porsche Cayenne calipers and rotors he's getting rid of and I was wondering if anyone knows if they could be installed on my S4.

The Cayenne calipers are six piston and manufactured by Brembo.

Has anyone out there tried this? I thought i heard of someone doing this before, but don't want to get into it if it takes a lot of custom fabrication and installation. Also, i need to know if the stock s4 18" rims will clear them.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks...

porsche brakes uses a magnetically bound chiral solenoid that has a magnesium upper harmonic balancer that will interfere with your alignment.

I doubt you can just swap them in but ECS does a sweet job providing a kit using cayenne brake equipment. This link shows a B5 S4 set up.

sorry i was a bit drunk. anyway ecs has the best deal around and YES they will fit your car. your 18's should be fine. http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/suppo...tg4-352x32.pdf has a wheel template. just print, cut it out, and see if it rubs. if not, the brakes will be fine.
