Guys - it does not say he has had them powder coated, just that they ARE powder coated. The pistons on these callipers have a yellow ceramic insert to prevent heat transfer - the pistons have not been powder coated! However, despite what has been said, these will NOT fit straight onto an S4 no matter what discs you use. I have done this and you need adapter brackets.

I disagree, I have these on my S4 and they bolt straight on (it's the 4-pot brembos that need an adapter),

Nige.

They way I read the advert and the email response was that he has just had them powder coated!

Sorry Nige, but Giles might be right. My Brembo 6 pots, which look pretty identical to these need a bit of adjustment to both caliper and mounting to fit exactly onto oem Audi rotors. Its only a couple of mm in each case but its not a straight forward swap. They do the business though. Good brakes :thumbs:
