Message	Can the front brakes be relocated to the rear on a 90TT? I searched, but didn't find too much about this. I am upgrading my front brakes to either the the 355mm or 332mm Stoptech kit, but the rear kit is only 2 pistons. I know it is 328mm, but it seems kind of pricey for what it is at roughly $2100. I figured the front 4 piston setup with stock 280mm rotors and some Hawk HPS pads would be very effective. Any alternate brake suggestions would also be welcome. I am not an autocrosser or racer, just looking for the best possible street brake setup. Thanks in advance.
