Some Answers on RS4 Clutch and Pressure Plate
Well, I decided to hold out and buy them from Partdepartment since they had nicer customer service than hoppen (damn these people never answer e-mails or phone calls)
So talking to Tim from the PartsDepartment he told me that the Clutch for the S4 and the RS4 are the same. The difference is the pressure plate. Which happens to be able to handle the more power the RS4 has. The set will be shipped directly from Germany (explains the cheaper prices) and I should be getting them end of next week.
I will keep you updated on my findings. I decided to go with them since figuring shipping costs and import taxes, I will still save at least $150. Hoppen prices seem reasonable until you talk to the parts department. Maybe I can work on getting the aluminum TBB for the RS4? hmmm

from my understanding, to do the RS4 TBB, you gotta do a lot more also...
it mates up to the RS4 intake manifold.....which is a completely different animal....i think you need the entire RS4 intake set up to make it work.....again, i MAY be wrong, although that dosen't happen very often =)
