Yes both caliper and disc are larger on the RS4. Some people have upgraded their S4 brakes with RS4 ones. Rear mod is more commmon, but I think theres a guy on the forum who has the front brakes on his S4...

I know SnbS4, S4driver and moktoya use RS4 Front brakes on their S4's although moktoya was having a problem. They will bolt on.

As you need 18" wheels (AND tyres!) to use RS4 Front brakes it is best to use the money to buy "proper" uprated brakes to fit 17" wheels, unless of course you want 18" wheels anyway. Even then the sliding caliper design and one-piece disc with poor venting ends up with the same problems as the S4 Brakes when pushed hard.
