I have a full front S3 brake setup that i removed when fitting brembo's. will it fit the A4 b5? will there be any gains or not worth it?

the S3 caliper has smaller pistons than the B5.
However you can use the S3 caliper carrier with the B5 caliper (asuuming you have the larger 288x25mm brake setup at the moment). You need front disks from a B6 3.0 and standard B5 pads.
