Hey guys. I installed a big brake kit on my Z, ksport procomp. Can I put my oem front calipers and rotors on the rear? I have 20s so clearance isnt an issue. Thank you

2009 base model

Anything is possible with the right wallet/skill. As far as "is there a bolt on kit for it" no. Could u fab your own brackets, lines, mounts and find rotors to fit properly yes you could. Google diy bbk on 350z guy made his own brackets for wilwood caliper a I think I was

Just a thought, I don't know how much on this car, but the srt I had I could go big brake Amg calipers up front, some guys would try and run the regular fronts or base rears with it but I did through of some brake bias when doing this

NO! The rear rotors have the e-brake inside of them. The calipers won't bolt up to the brackets. And you would set-up the ABS, and brake balance. The square inch surface area of the front 4 piston caliper is greater then that of a 4 piston rear BBK kit caliper.

Don't do this! That guy was a maniac !

The idjut later blew up his engine with a DIY turbo install going down the back straight of Sebring at 140.

I made those when it was 3000+ $s to get a bbk.

I've just always liked building things, now it's an 18' sailboat.

My current recommendation would be to buy a used set of sport / akabono brakes.

I wouldn't say don't do it. Maybe the op is an engineer who designs, tests and builds airplane parts for a living but has 0 idea when it comes to cars. I'm sure someone with above skills (why I mentioned right skills ;). Could make any part they choose on a car. I wouldn't assume he does or doesn't have the skills to make his own.

Once you figured out the ABS/Brake Balance/Ice Mode Issues Front rotor-ebrake set-up. Go for it. Let me know how it works. ;)
