can I swap the breaks?

can I swap the breaks?
This may sound n00b, but anyway-
Can I swap the breaks? I mean, is it possible to put used stock front pads on the rear?
Can I do the same with stock rotors?
Or is it strictly front and rear?
Thanks.

No...
The front rotors are a different design larger/thicker...
The front pads are also larger so they won't fit in the rear calipers.
I got Raybestos QS from Pepboys for ~$50 each (FT & RR), I like them alot and actually think they are quieter then my previous Stillen Metal Matrix pads.
Good look!

I think your question was answered above, but you should also note it is a bad idea to put used pads on rotors. When pads wear they can wear uneven and cause warpage of the rotor (which causes that annyoying steering wheel shimmy). Even if they did fit on the rear (or say you got a set used from someone) I don't think it would be a good idea to install them. Rotors might be ok if they are cut and in spec, but I would never reuse pads.
