really dumb question about bbk

if i get bbk for the front, can i take the stock brakes and put it in the back since it has bigger rotors and calipers? or would that be like Ghetto?

TCM called brembo and its not possible. You have to use your stock 4 piston calipers for the rear, you can't move your front 6 piston to the back due to some "issues". I can't remember what that issue is.

The issue was regarding the emercency brake system. Brembo cannot "economically" design a rotor hat that would clear the Cayenne large emergency brake diameter. So they decided to not invest money into it as they would never make it back. I am not exactly sure if you could replace the rear brakes with the fronts but am assuming it is not possible to the brake bias. Even with the Brembo kit on the front only, it has been designed to work in conjunction with the stock rear brakes. Hope this helps.

u can't not put the front brake to the rear on ANY cars because all the mounting points, wheel carriers & hardwares are totally different.
