Default Dual caliper brakes
Can this be done on the S4? What size rims are required to support such a kit? Anyone have more info?

I got the idea from the evolve S60R: <a href="http://www.swedespeed.com/news/publish/Features/article_106.html">click me</a>

Default uh why? Get a BBK and you'll have more stopping power than you'll ever need... your tires will lose
adhesion well before your braking system will reach maximum clamping force.

Default Maybach also has a similar setup. 16 piston front brake kit. Dual 8 piston calipers.
The car also weighs as much as a tank.

Femi on Club B5 also has this same willwood setup. I'm sure it's more than overkill.

I don't see any benefit to that except longer pad life.
