yes it's just for the front. so all i need is the 4 pot caliper and rotor? will the 4 pot caliper bolt up in the original position. or is that also part of what needs to be swapped?

Well it depends really. Are you going lug conversion as well? But heres a basic breakdown. For teh front you will need teh front calipers, teh bolts, teh dust shield, breaklines unless youve bought new SS lines, and the larger rotors. For the rear you will need the same. For teh hub swap youll need everything mentioned above plus teh hubs. Everything bolts right in.

Since the you have a 5 lug single pistons already.. the onlything you really need is the cailper and brake pads. You can use the stock single piston lines. Although it is recommend you buy new brake lines, buy ones for the 4pot calipers.. and you should be fine.

Note this is only for S5 single pistons.. NOT s4 4lug.
