Default front brake calipers...

Crazy question:
i'm considering a big brake upgrade for the front, and am wondering if the stock front calipers will fit and work on the rear?
pros & cons??

Just a thought to hold me over in case I don't decide to upgrade to the rear big brake package.....

any info would be helpful...

Do you mean calipers + rotors in the rear?

I would think that a new caliper brackect would need to be made for the front to work out back. But that still won't fix the problem of the front caliper being larger than the rear caliper. So the way the caliper fits wouldn't work.

And you can't put the front combo(caliper+rotor) in the back because your parking brake would be useless.

You also have to consider the front brake kits are designed to work with the stock rear brakes so I would think the braking bias would be messed up.
