Question Front factory Clip and disc on back wheel

I am doing some research on the upgrading the brakes. All the brake upgrade kit with clippers are for the front. Understanding that when you are brake, the weight of the car are almost ~70% shift to the front. That explains when all the brake upgrade kit is for the front clippers.

What I am questioning is if a new set of the clippers was installed in the front. I will have the front factory clippers in storage. Since the rear clipper looks weak, can the front factory clip bolt to the back? Can the front disc used in the back along with the front clips? Any modification need to make it work?

NO NO NO.

There's no way you can put the front brakes on rear. There's the emergency brake at the center of the rear brakes.

those were my thoughts exactly a couple days back, if you could hook it up to work with an e-brake somehow i think it would work.
