Front brakes on rear?

Has anyone put the front brakes on the rear?
Is this possible?

I had a Holden SS (Chevy SS to most of you) and could move my front brakes to the rear and upgrade the front so hoping theres some kind of solution to this for F80.

I'm wanting to upgrade the brakes but would like to do front and rear at the same time. Only problem is the cost when you do both skyrockets!

Any help would be great.

The front brakes are considerably larger than the rear brakes.

You could do anything you want..if you had the money. I'm sure someone could retrofit a caliper bracket to fit the huge rotors and just get rid of the dust shield. But then you'd have to get wheels that have an offset and spoke design that will clear. Good luck.
