Well today i was thinking can i put front calipers and brakes on the rear. I know they have brake kits but there way to expensive. What do u guys think. I should put it this way do u think it will work with a little bit of fab work?

you would still need to get some parts from the ep3 or rsx, i think. i think the fabrication required for this would probably cost more than just getting the parts from another car.

ummm itd be far more of a hassle than its worth. The rotors are no where close to the same, even if you used an EP3 knuckle. The bracket to rotor spacing is a mile off.
