could you swap the whole front brake assembly to the back??If you do Z32 fronts, can you put the stock front caliper, rotor, etc on the rear??

- Remove wheel- Remove caliper (not the line, just the two bolts holding it onto the spindle)- Remove rotor

Front brakes do not fit on the rear.

Dude, I'm offended by that. I was not being sarcastic all at.

As much advice as Ive asked of you and this board, its doesnt mean s*** if I dont understand why. 'NO' isnt an explanation. HANDBRAKE is...

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime.

Edit: My bad, I guess my typo above killed the meaning of my post. I meant 'No sarcasm intended'

It's been discussed and discussed.

To use your analogy, I don't care to teach the man to fish yet another time.

The handbrake engages the caliper in the rear... so if you remove the rear calipers you now have no handbrake.

you'd rather hand out fish??Sorry man, Im just being an *** now.

I really wasnt 'offended' by your reply, just kinda shocked that you thought explaining your answer was too much for me to ask of you. Youve provided great solutions for me in the past, in questions I asked directly and thru reading your responses in other threads.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question.I'm here to learn. I am honestly grateful for anything that contributes to that goal.

BTW, thanks for taking care of that thread I emailed you about...
