(Moving the stock front sport calipers and rotors to the rear)
I looked for this in the search section and did not find it... so here goes:

I have the AP racing 6 piston BBK on my Nismo 370, but elected to do the fronts only (after-all the front does 70% of the braking work). I've got SS brake lines and race fluid all the way around plus better pads and drilled/slotted rotors on the back, but I kept the stock Nissan rear calipers and rotor size. The AP racing kit for the rear is nearly as expensive as the front.

My thought was this... why not do the BBK on the front, then move the 4 piston sport calipers and 14" rotor size to the rear? Has anyone done this? I assume all we would need is a bracket solution to hang the larger calipers. Can this be done?
