Not with these adapters, but Ken Osage offered to have adapters built to do just what you are saying, allowing the 993tt rotor to be used with the S4 calipers. I turned him down because I figured I'd eventually be going with the bigger calipers anyway. But I understand the interest from a cost savings perspective.

Hey, you know Im into these upgrade mods, so something comes to mind. Does this mean that you can use the 993turbo rotors and use an adapter bracket that just moves the caliper outward and allows for the S4 calipers to be mounted to the OB's stock assembly???
good news for scot, in that he could get bigger rotors and the S4 calipers for only the cost of the new rotors, adapters and calipers. true??

Well, I wasn't quite out of the woods yet. I mounted the street tires on the car (stock S4 rims), and there was contact against the caliper. I put the track wheel on so I could what was going on. You can see where the spoke scraped the paint off the caliper due to contact.
I slung some 3mm washers on the wheel studs and problem solved.
Car road tested great. Nice to have some decent brakes on the car.
