Any way to swap front breaks to the rear?

So....

I recently got the the SVT/FR break kit, and now I'm toying around with moving my stock front breaks to the rear.

Could I get/make break lines, hubs, ebreak cables and whatever else I need to do this?

Has anyone ever done this before?

^^ couldn't agree more. maybe even look for a model with disc rears in a junkyard.

as mentioned, no way to make a parking brake and just to get the hubs to fit you would have to do some fabrication.

and above all else... its just not necessary.

Checkout the wrecking yards for the '05-'07 st set up= 10'' disc's. You'd think FRPP's would come out w/ the 10'' kit, for the earlier cars.

Just keep an eye out in the for sale section for svt rear brakes for sale I've seen them for sale a lot, or look for a svt part out. I believe there are two part outs now. Don't forget your gonna need to update your wheels stock '15s won't fit over svt brakes. I think "16s is the smallest you can go.

I'm sittin on 17-inch FR Rally's w/ Eagle GT rubber already. TBH it was upgrading my front beaks, rims and tires that made me want to go the rears. I've got sexy slotted/drilled rotors with black powdered calipers in the front --and rusty ass drums that need replacing in the rear.

BTW would the Duratech FR kits be convertible to a Zetec with a touch of modding/extra parts? I'd LOVE to just get another FR kit brand new. I'd buy the Breambo if they weren't $1000-proud of their work.
