    Brake swap F to R

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I have a set of B5S4 calipers and carriers (front) but my front pads and rotors were only changed about 1000 miles ago, my rears are pretty worn though. Does anyone know if its possible to swap my fronts onto the rear? (I'd then mount the B5calipers and get some new rotors for the front)...
    Not sure if this would upset the bias, but I can"t see it as worse than just leaving the rears as stock with the front B5S4's on...

    Anything is possible with time, money, equipment and know how. Will it bolt in...no.

    didn't think so but thought I'd ask before I try taking them apart - seems a shame to waste low mileage set of rotors from the front. Probably best to put them on the classifieds...

    More then likley you'll have a set or stock frt. rotor sitting in your garage. There is no big demand for stock rotors. I have thought about the same swap, I have the part but think the frt. caliper is just to big to have in the rear.

    yeah - I wasn't anticipating making money just clearing out (there's more than enough bike related junk in the garage already) but I suppose stock-for-spares rotors and calipers don't take up too much space...
