Who has S4 brakes on their A4 and did you notice slower acceleration from the unsprung weight??

Not directly refering to brakes, but the only time I hear a comment on performance is when someone..
downsizes rims. Typically, I think there is a denial effect when someone shoots a big wad on expensive gigantic rims, the last thing they *want* to percieve is reduced performance, that is why nobody says so. The only time i hear a comment is like i said, when someone puts on their winter or other lighter wheels and says "wow".

I agree with Foo, definate increase in braking with the b5 S4 calipers and rotors
the weight increase is there, but you hardly notice this at all. Now if you are seriously planning on racing your car, then I'd go with a big brake kit that saves lots of weight.
for everyday driving, crusing, speeding, spirited driving them the S4 ugrade is the best option to go with for price, ease and performance.
