Question Any brake kit use the OEM front brake

Does anyone know if we cam make a gain in performance at the lowest cost by moving the front brake set the the back and buying a new big brake kit?

Is this a valid question or am I missing something?

Any information or knowledge in this area would be helpful

you wouldn't benefit from this.

the having the front setup in the rear won't make noticable differeance.

Default Larger contact Area

Would'nt it provide a larger contact area and thus better stopping power to go with the larger frint brake kit of the 14" type.

I think the biggest problem would be the loss of your emergency brake by moving the front brakes to the rear. I don't know of anyway to put a parking brake on the front brakes.

yes it would to an extent but you wouldn't see the differance.

for example....

the 4 wheel stoptech kit only stops a few ft less than the front kit.
