Default c4 to c5 brake upgrade

I have purchased the c5 brake upgrade for the front brakes of my C4 started considering replacing the rear brakes with rear C5 calipers - does anyone make this kit?

Thanks

Don't waste your time or money. Just paint or powdercoat yours to match the fronts.

If your car is an auto you could move the C4 fronts to the rear for a little more squeeze. But you will lose the E-brake, which is why most 6-speed owners don't want to do this.

Calipers are easy to rebuild. Don't sweat it. Just take your time and read the instructions.
