Can this be done? Ie if I were to put uk brakes on the front, can I use the 2 pot jspec calipers that are on the front now, on the rear?

 

Im not sure about using UK's up front and having the 1-pots on the rear as im sure its going to upset the brake bias

 

And also...do the brake line have the same fittings as the jspec?

i dont think it would knock the bias out, however as the front discs are a lot thicker than the rears, even with brand new pads you would soon be finding the caliper pistons at full extension or the pads popping out of the carriers as the pads wear which is very very bad, i think its a bit of a non starter mate :(

That was my feeling too mate :( was kinda clutching at straws with the idea ;)
