Why would you want to? You realize that the brakes are designed to have specific front-to-rear bias.

Are you planning on running larger (aftermarket) brakes on the front as well?

If you run front brakes all the way around, the bias will likely be thrown off. Also, if you put front brakes on the rear, you'll use your e-brake.

Tell us your reasoning for wanting to run front brakes on the rear.

I think you would be adversely affecting the brake bias by doing this, which might actually result in worse handling.
