I'd imagine you could....but why would you want to?

The front portion of the car has to handle more braking load due to weight transfer and what not.

Definitely wouldn't want to skimp on the fronts.

I think I have heard that its not as simple as bolting them up and makes it pretty much not worth it to even attempt.

I'm sure the rotors would probably fit, but you'll have issues trying to come up with a system of mounting the calipers. I bet the front calipers also use more fluid volume as well, so you may run into issues using them in the rear, probably needing a different master cylinder and proportioning valve. Would be a cool project though, since you're planning on doing an upgrade all the way around. Might be a cheap alternative to going with something like a Baer or Brembo setup if you find a way to make it work.

i do believe that someone makes a kit to put cobra front calipers in the rear. they did it on Horsepower TV when they installed 14in 4 pistons on the front.... the car stopped from 60 in like 90 something feet
