As long as they are non-turbo the only thing different will be 5th gear, but they will bolt right in.

make sure you have the crossmember with the new tranny because s4 and s5 crossmembers bolt different to the trans but the same to the car. other than that the only difference is pretty much 5th gear (s4's 5th gear is a little bit lower)...

S4 and S5 have nothing to do with 5th gear.

The 86 and 87 had a .711 5th gear and the 88 and later had .697

So series has nothing to do with it.
