You should have saved those calipers for the CQ you have now.

I would have the same problem with them on the CQ as I did on the S4.

I don't think unswept rotor area is that horrible of a thing.

Default The rotor is too big. It hits the pad retention spring. I am not going to pay to make my rotors
smaller to have 951 calipers.

Default The overall diameter of the rotor is not the benifit...
...it's the increase in pad choice and caliper stiffness and over-all design of the caliper.

Plus you only make is maller buy a few mm's.

Default I don't think it's worth the effort for an S4 or CQ. However it's a great BOLT-ON upgrade for
90's with G54 brakes.
