From my understanding almost anyone will make/sell you a bigger rotor. You just have to ask.

Nope, Movit does not have a kit for the S4 that uses the GT3 Monobloc caliper in either 322 or 355.

Default GT3 caliper cannot be machined....

the 993 turbo calipers are machined so they will fit deeply over the rotor and the pad will make full contact with the disk. We can't do this with the GT3 monoblock. There is no 350mm disk available yet (perhaps early next year) but the RS4's in Europe are using the GT3 caliper with the Porsche Motorsport 380mm disk. This setup is available for the S4 but cost is around $4000. SD

What size rims do I need for a 380mm disk?

Default Well then....

Why don't you be the guinea pig for BIRA?
Your cost could be really low--about 1/2 of the movt kit. I was going to be the guinea pig but I had a problem with my aftermarket wheels. The stock Avus wheel should work.

I believe the brakets and rotor hats are already made. They just need someone to get the calipers and rotors for test fitting.
