getting a rebuild - question

So I'm gonna be getting my motor rebuilt on my s4, and I wanna know, swapping to s5 rotors... is it as simple as installing the rotors, or are there other complications i'm not aware of? How much of a gain would I get from that alone?

You need the appropriately weighted flywheel and proper fuel for the different compression ratio.

You need the proper front AND rear counterweights.
Rear counterweight for lightened flywheel.
Rear counterweight can be substituted for stock OEM S5 flywheel.

considering this will be done on an all stock 88 convertible, how much of a gain can I expect? will it be worth the costs?
