Holy carp!!That cant be safe.You never wondered why the parking brake didnt work?

No reason why you couldnt mount the 4pot calipers out back....although your rear disc diameter isnt the same as the rotors those calipers are designed for....and you wouldnt have any parking brake.....the braking bias would be WAY off unless you upgraded the fronts too.....and the brackets would have to be custom made.

I'd just get the stock calipers personally. Is there a reason why not?
