NEW! brake upgrade idea

please respond with how well you think this setup would work and the difficulty / cost or making it happen.

move from brake setup to back.

put 2002 front brakes on the front.

use aftermarket rotors and pads + SS brake lines all around

If the fronts are just bolt on, it should be easy. But putting the fronts on the rears will be pretty difficult/expensive. Expecially if you dink w/ the emergency brake issue. And if the new rears aren't that much weaker than the new fronts, the back end might want to lead the front end around sometimes

according to DMBmaxima, the 2002 has much improved, larger front brakes than the 2000
