Search under DOLPHIN 's name, he has it on his sedan.
i did 6 installs of stoptechs (just about the exact same thing) on my b5 s4 for me and others.
FWIW, it's fairly simple, just take your time and follow their break in-instructions on bedding, cleaning the rotor BEFORE You install it and bleeeding the brakes to a TEE!
that is the most crucial part.
other than that, it's about 45 minutes a side. hth's and be sure to post pics when ya done!

Re: thread hijack - are the stock brakes that bad?????
Reggie,
The brakes where great on the track. However as I have been driving the car more often I am noticing a drop in pedal responciveness and they do fade a bit. I plan on taking the car to the track on a regular basis, thus I am worried that the stock brakes will eventually fail under this abuse.
Brembo's seem to be the best solution for this mix. I have spoken with several S4 owners who have purchased the StopTech's and have had failures requiring re-builds after 4-5 events.
Safety is very important to me and I dont want to even think about my brakes when I am driving. Plus you cant beat the price I got for a set about half of retail.

FWIW, I ran 25 events on my stoptechs (b5 S4) and
NEVER HAd a problem.
I did have them rebuilt as a "safety courtesy" before I sold them to BEATTHEWRX on the b5 board, but when Stoptech looked at em, they said not a singlething wrong.
Stoptech gave me one of the BEST customer service experiences of ANY vendor I've ever dealt with.
I know opinions vary and the (stoptech, porsche, & brembo make Excellent products, but I just wanted to voice my .02.
congrats and looking forward to hearing about your feedback.
