brake swap

Has anyone tried this? I'm wondering if it would be worth the effort. I plan on upgradeing my front barkes, and I'm considering putting the old stock front setup on the back.

fronts are different from the back. Of course they are bigger, but the fronts are vented and the rears are solid. I don't know how this is gonna work? I don't know of anyone who has tried it either?

IMO, I don't think its worth it. Might as well get the rear upgraded as well if you plan on doing something like this.

Most important thing for upgrades are the calipers and pads. These things make more of a difference than just the larger rotors alone. 11" is good enough I think. I would do the 11" upgrade if I could do it all over again.

I think brake upgrades aren't necessary unless you are a hardcore race track person.

at first I only planned on upgradeing the front. That would be sufficient for my needs. then after seeing this done on a couple nissans with great results it got me thinking I could upgrade the rear brakes for free (kind of).

does anyone know if any special brakets or anything will be needed or should it be a direct swap?
