.... I should kick everyone in the bag....
Are we kidding here? Is this a joke thread? Lets not forget ASIDE from the E-Brake debacle.... we must be forgetting that the proportioning will be completely ruined. You would need to install manual proportioning valves, run larger lines to the rear, and relocate all the mounting hardware...
OOOOOORRR if you want better stopping power... just use GOOD pads like EBC's Yellow/ Red stuff or Hawk HPS or HP Plus. That along with good rotors and Motul high viscosity brake fluid to prevent vapor accumilation in the lines.
This is what people do for mild/moderate track and street apps.
I dont mean to be a dick but brake system swaps are a giant waste of time. AND trying to put front brakes on the rear is like trying to put a V8 in our cars.... Its just silly.

What he said..theres a lot more to a brake swap then most people realise..and what he didn't say is , if you don't already have rear discs, a new master cylinder is in order..it takes a lot more fluid movement for discs then a drum system.Then theres formulas for press vs, volume and puck size etc etc....

Will excuses me
all I want to achieve is a better looking brake caliper in the rear then whats stock ie it doesn't have to be a four piston and shouldn't per what people are saying thanks by the way, so mello out and make a suggestion as what might work instead of insulting my question.
Thanks

I told you what will work. Re read our posts. Your stock caliper looks fine. Your not driving a Ferrari to pebble beach. Settle your shorts a little bit. Don't automatically assume I'm attacking you. But realistically theres nothing wrong with the stock equipment...

Thanks SS, I looked at the decals and the abs covers, the covers are gloss and the frt brakes are flat black and I don't think the decals will fit properly for size constrants, I'm looking for Brembos but don't want to change size now thanks to all the feed back from this post it not a good idea and won't work, I'll keep looking something will pop up.
