Yea the S5 ('89-91) have higher readlines as well as 14 more horsepower (160 fwhp). But they also weigh more than the S4 ('86-88). They have lighter rotors so they can rev higher w/out damage.

The higher redline on the series 5 manual tranny cars is mostly related to the redoing the intake to get rid of the drop in the torque curve at 7500 and a lighter flywheel.

actually this is wrong... lighter rotors make the esentric(whatever) shaft flex at high rpms which is bad.. the stock S4 rotors are optimal for 9000+
