4 lug FC questions

Ok, searched but only found 5 lug swap info. What I want to know is have any of you that has the 4 lug FC's put on the 4 piston calipers to upgrade your brakes?

So what I need to know is can you bolt a 4 piston caliper off of a TII on to a 4 lug FC?

Thanks for the help

well guess I need to go over to a friends house and see if a set of tii calipers will bolt up to his 4 lug s4 brake system. I am not worried about the PV nor the Booster as I am upgrading from a stock gsl-se 4x114.3 pattern to a s4 4x114.3 front hub assembly only if I can get the Turbo II caliper to bolt up. If not I will install a complete s5 5 lug hub on the gsl-se and redrill the hubs out to the 4x11.3

Anyone else?????? Anymore info?
Thanks

why bother? Just get a decent set of pads for your 4 lug and you'll have excellent brakes.
