Default S4 brake conversion

Anyone in Audiworld had swapped front calipers from an S4 to an A4 1.8T? If so, please advise if the spindles from the S4 has to be used.

Too much trouble -- the mounting points for the caliper carriers are different.

The rears are doable though. I think it was RichL that swapped them.

Yeah, the rears were a direct swap. 4 parts.

It's better to go with A8 brakes for the rear, bigger than S4, and only $20 or so more expensive.

Are they a direct swap? Or is this the one where you use TT caliper brackets?
