Almost, but not quite. They've got the same rotors on the front, but
the S4 has the funky two-piston, four-pad calipers while the allroad
has more conventional single-piston, two-pad calipers. On the rear,
the S4 has ventilated rotors while the allroad uses solid rotors...

The use of single-piston front calipers on the allroad might have been
a running change during production, since I had originally thought
that they used exactly the same bits as on the S4...

I'm picking nits, but... :)
