Default gs brakes

i was at carlisle this past week and over heard a couple taking about putting gs brakes on the rear and not having a parking brake. i think it would look good but i kno there will be no parking brake. i thought back as the last time i used my p/brake and cant even remember when. i did get the guys name and number after talking with him for a while and he said he could make sum if he got enuff interest. just thought i would ask here and see if any one would like a pair.

If you are talking GS caliper as in the one for J55 13" rotors
it won't work as the J55 13" rotor is 28mm thick and the C4 rear only 20.5mm.

so if you're putting the front calipers on the rear, you'd need new rotors in addition to a break bias control.
