there is more clamping force generated by the 4x4 cossie caliper than the
2wd 4 pots as long as the 4x4 callipers are in good order leave them on

you would need to move the wheel out by around 10mm to acomodate the calipers
if you were thinking of going to 2wd discs you'd find that they foul bits of the hub

you are best off getting a specific cossie 4x4 brake upgrade than faffing about

alternativly, ask graceland, as he has a habit of doing things that shouldn't work but, miraculously, do
