Actually, the 314x30 are standard S6 and S6 4.2 (AEC) brakes for
everywhere but North America.  The S6+ brakes are 323 x 30.  Either kit
will require a different strut than what is presently on the car.  Like
others have said, stick with a Big Red/Big Black setup like that on your
S4 (and you can also get Big Silver and Big Yellow).  I'm putting
together a kit like Linus mentioned using the RS2 brackets, but with
2-piece rotors to cut down on the rotational mass.  You could also go
with the ECS Stage 2 or 3 kits.  If you can get in on the latest GP
price it is hard to beat.
