the front brakes do aprox 70% of the stopping, so they will produce about 3x the stopping of the rear. so if you want to use them on the rear you need to find some fronts that are 3x the stopping power of the fronts. if you can use the rear calipers on them when installed in the rear you should be fine providing they bolt up which seems highly unlikely since your rear brakes have little drums in the center to provide em brakes and the fronts do not.

what idea are you chasing with these thoughts?
