front brakes on rear??

one30five · 07-29-2014, 01:39 PM

I upgraded my front brakes to Stoptech drilled and slotted. I like them a lot, but I'm considering a 2 piece, with aluminum hat set up for the front. I still have OEM rotors on the rear. will the (size) of the front rotor work on the rear without changing the caliper?

I know I should probably just do all 4 wheels with the same rotors, but i'm curious. And if I can save some $, then I can spend that on something else for my car

Has anyone done this? Thanks

I took the wheel off and the obvious hit me

the caliper is in a fixed (bolted on) position. it can't accept anything larger in diameter

dumb question. sorry for wasting people;s time
