Bingo.

And the reason is because of the huge brake rotors.

Should be fine but test-fit them before you pull out your wallet.

If they won't fit, they could be free and still won't do you any good.

Just put one of them on the front of your car and make sure it clears the caliper before you part with your cash. If he won't let you do that, then you probably don't want to buy from him anyway.

Not exactly. The "s" and the "i" have different brakes. 4-door S (and SP23) and 5-door S are the same.
