Default How to fit standard sierra front 4-pot brakes at rear?

I want to upgrade the rear brakes of my cossie. I have now fitted at front axel Ap 4-pot calipers with 330 rotors and my idea is to fit the original ford 4pot front brakes at rear axel.
Does anybody done this conversion?
any pics?

My 1st thought is that they would be too good for the back end, with 330mm on front. I think most say the vented rears are a good alternative and relatively a bolt on conversion.

Better option is 300mm 2piece disc set and cosworth 4x4 rear calipers... I was going to put 4pot AP's on mine and its way over the top ... To much braking in the arse end

more hassle than it's worth and it will swap ends as the rears will get too much stopping pwoer
