unless you buy for bling or are willing to have custom pads made for you. not that this is really difficult but still whats the point? go with the porsche kit that is made for a performace car W/ common pad sizes that every brake pad maker makes pads for. stage 3 makes more sense.
the abs will be fine on any of these kits. pad bias will probabily effect abs or wheel lock more then he caliper will.

There should be some pics on my pic-poster about the brakes.
I have not tried yet to get the ABS in REAL trouble but so far there are no indications that may happen.
Driving in the rain and chosing a very short stopping distance the ABS worked on the spot.
But please keep in mind that my car is quite heavy, so it may be different in a lighter car like A4/S4 or so.
I have to add that the allroad Brakes are not really suitable and kind of lame, so to me it makes a world of a difference.
There is simply no real comparison with the Stock brakes, the Porsche (Cayenne) Brakes are holding up to Porsche's reputation about their Brakes.
The Term "stopping on the dime" is 110% applicable.
The only thing I found about them is that they really spray the Brake dust all over the Driver/Passenger door, something to clean up every 2 days.
I would highly recommend these Brakes, you will get an excellent value for the money.

Racing Pads would be an interesting add-on.

decrease as oppossed to stock, the rotational mass has increased due the huge rotors, thus slower acceleration.

The challenge is to get it out of first gear a.s.a.p. because the current power is damaging the utilities like A/C compressor, Power steering pump etc.
So the 0-60 times haven't changed, with stock brakes it was the same, 5.5sec.
One of the reasons for that could be that the Rotors are now larger, but the entire setup is also lighter then Stock, just the 6-P. calipers are a real lightweight compared to the 4-P. Stock, the same is applicable for the Rotors.
The hole car is just too heavy to make a significant difference concerning the acceleration. But decel or braking power made a very significant improvment.
In an A4/S4 you may see or feel it, not with the allroad. I would have to strip it a few 100 pounds to get the effect you asking for.
