Why would you want to? It'd mess up the balance of the car's braking. Don't ever think of doing that.

Like I said, it'd throw off the balance of the car's braking. the front brakes do mre than 60% of the braking. Putting bigger brakes in the rear that match or are bigger than the brakes up front would ruin the balance in the braking which would be very dangerous. You want bigger brakes all around, go Z32 all around, meaning front Z brakes go in the front, and rear Z brakes go in the rear.
