I've done it before, and while it does a little bit, it really fits into the 'why bother?' category!

I've heard of this been done on civics... using larger discs and calipers up front and putting the front brakes on the back, then making up a hydraulic handbrake system with some valve system or something.
Any brake upgrade will be useful IMHO!

I guess so, I just picked them up then. A new pair of DBA vented rotors, and a new pair of DBA slotted ones. Plus rebuilt calipers and new rubber lines and pads. $170. I love ebay.

More important than the diameter is the fact that RA6x brakes are ventilated. This makes a huge difference, and unless your AE86 is a full-on track racer you'll find the RA6x brakes with good quality pads will be more than sufficient.

No, but Mk2 Supras which shares basically the same fronts have rear discs.
