I'd suggest reading the tech article.

Default I read the article but it says nothing about replacing the calipers.
My question is whether I should replace the S4 calipers with S8 calipers or stay with stockers? Also, is there a rear upgrade for the caliper or just carrier and rotors?

You don't replace the caliper because they are the same. Just the S8 carrier and rotor.

Default So the S8 and S4 caliper are exactly the same?
My existing caliper is bad and want to know what alternatives there are for replacing it.
