Default Supra TT/ Stock Brake kit question

Ok, I love the giant calipers and rotors behind the front wheel, but I think it need something bigger out back to match the giant ones out front. Is it possible to mount the two piston calipers in the rear with the supra TT calipers up front?

Is it a problem of the bracket to hold the caliper, or the balance of the brake system?

Brake bias will be an issue since most companies will test (if they even do testing) their fronts with stock rears and balance the setup that way. Not sure how well it is defined what a larger rear setup will do.

I don't believe the front will bolt right on the rears either but I can't confirm that since I've never seen anyone try. There may also be design issues since the ebrakes are in the rear and I doubt if the front setup accounts for that. I found the thread I was talking about but it was on the SC and not the GS. Although not directly relevant, the same issues (fitment, ebrake) may apply.

Actually, not the thread I was thinking about. This thread had to do with putting Supra TT rears onto the GS. I think Blue98Gs3 was asking about putting the front GS ones onto the rear. If I read that wrongm then my bad.
