Performance/Price ratio was the major reason...
There are other reasons as well:
1) Easy installation, everything bolts on.
2) You use your stock pads, which means they get replaced for free under warranty/maintenance.
3) Parking brake retained. You loose parking brake with most aftermarket solutions.
4) Both, front (312mm) and rear (269mm) A8 brakes fit under 16" stock sport wheels.

How can you keep stock pads if rear rotor is 10mm thicker? And what about the mounting brackets- where did you get these- for the front or the rear?

Because you use different wider caliper.But rotor and pad contact surface remain the same.The bracket from audi by modify with mechining to make it fit A4 and S4 rear mounting point.
