And that is a great price. About 5-6 years ago we upgraded my son's Roush Mustang from Roush's PBR GT upgrade to the Steeda Cobra front brake kit & it was $500 for a similar package. And the Cobra rotors are 'only' 13".

You can get the adapters from Xschop.
The Wilwood parts are very good quality and one of the few companies I admire enough to become a dealer for.

Refresh my recollection please. The stud shown in the first picture in post #1 that has the red paint on the end is painted for a purpose. Is it supposed to be the last nut torqued down to spec? And if so, why does it matter? Most old calipers no longer have the paint mark, and if there is a reason for the location (near the caliper?) I'm wondering why.

When I looked at their site, I couldn't find where they even list Porsche as an available option to order parts for? So did the Cayenne rotors come from Porsche or from Wilwood?

For the factory M.C. you should use Wilwood Superlite 1.62" piston calipers and 1.25" rotor width........Part #120-11133 x 2ea
and #150-8854K (street pads)
Today the weather broke and I will start mocking up a matching rear Wilwood set-up on S4 rotors and will send the prototypes to Ed. Also Mike Simard has the best prices on the Wilwoods.
I am running R1 Concepts brand rotors and they are stilling looking great after over a year of hard daily use.

re: red marked stud
FYI
Per the Manual, 44-8:
"If work on a car necessitates removal of a wheel, mark the stud nearest the valve before removing the wheel ( same position of wheel hub and brake disc when refitting). In this way, the optimum result attained by finish balancing is not lost. Futhermore, the lockable wheel nut must be mounted on the marked stud."

nothing really, unless we can get an adapter made up to provide a small offset and spacer. I was drawing one up and it didnt look like it was possible. oh yeah, i stopped when i found out that the ends fo the calipers required radiusing that woudl cut into the cross over hard brake line. 
The real answer would be making an adapter for the S4 to use the wildwood calipers., or some other axial mount 4 piston caliper, if there is such a thing.
