Default brakes

can i fit 4 pot calipers to the back of my car?
i already have some on the front but can i fit front calipers on the back?? i have been told before it cant be done, can i not just control them by the brake bias?
or will front calipers just not fit?

upgrading the rears is ok, but you've got to have SERIOUS stopping power on the fronts otehrwise they will just be a waste honestly

if you are clamping on a set of front 280's and 4 pots to the rear, you'll probably be looking at at LEAST 330's on the front with much bigger calipers to get it to the point where the brakes are ok
