same calipers, there just smoother, rotors wont work. NO BENEFIT AT ALL unless you prefer smooth caliper over the FC rib look. Both are aluminum and both have same piston bore size (they even use the same brake pads).

No, doesn't fit, the offset on the rotors is all wrong.

Corksport sells a kit to put FD rears on the FC (may be 99+ rears), but that's counterproductive unless you've got much bigger fronts.

Do a search next time, it's been covered 43854764 times.

Then you're not looking hard enough. A number of the forum sponsors sell kits, but the question remains, why? Are you having braking problems? If so do some maintenance on the system and it'll almost certainly fix the issue. The stock brakes are more than enough for road racing unless you've got tons of power.
