The brackets will be fine, I put 89 control arms on my 86 during the 5 lug swap and the only thing that I had to change was the end links. I think the s5 sway bar might be a little bit different, but it should work with the RB endlinks.

I ca confirm. S4 LCA will work in S5. You need S5 front stabilizer bar and S5 end links. S4 endlinks and stabilizer bar will work in a pinch but the stabilizer is shorter as is the S4 end links. If you go that route, you will put a great deal of torsion on the stabilizer bar.

Just get the S4 stabilizer, end links, LCA's and possibly the stabilizer mounting hardware. My deal was using S4 LCA wit S5 stabilizer and S4 links. I would not recommend it since it made things diffrent.
