Default LS400/MK4 calipers on rear

wanted to know has anyone ran LS400/MK4 front calipers as rear calipers on a SCXXX? not really interested in mounting information thats the easy part, really want to know if its possible using stock master cylinder and how it would effect the cars front and rear ratios?

I know this is not the information you're looking for but why not run TT rears? It's far less complicated than machining brackets, figuring out brake bias, master cylinder set-ups and figuring out your parking brake.

yes i know TT rears would be easier but i would like to know all my options before i go in one direction over another. if i can run 4 piston rears on my MKIII why not on my SC.

I don't know if they will fit in back without a lot of modification. I do know that mounting LS400 4 pot calipers on the front of SC's work absolutely beautifully! Best bang for the buck on a SC for sure!
