Re: Front calipers on rear? (Slammed Vette)
There isn't that I know of.....I did however make the switch on my old vert using Eradispeeds, but the parking brake mechanism had to be removed.
If you have questions about how to do it, I can walk ya thru :cheers:

There was a great article in Grassroots Motorports magazine talking about brake changes and bias. You will upset the bias with larger calipers, but may be able to correct for this through other means. You may not notice the difference until you really hit them hard. The last thing you want is to find out there is a problem when you need them.

You can do it but will need a bigger master cylinder, lose the Ebrake as said above and probably need a bias valve. Won't really help unless you put a big brake kit on the front. Front left to right rear when mounting. I haven't done it yet but will soon.
