can you, or someone else please break it down to me...why?

front rotors are not the same as rears. essentially the front rotor get squeezed on both sides, and the rear just gets pressed from one side. They are not the same cailper, nor set up.

There are other differences but they are moot because the rotors simply wont fit.

The rear rotor is a floating single piston just like the front. It should clamp on both sides, unless broken.

Really it's all a moot point. Unless you're putting the car on a road coarse, the brakes would be overkill, plus you're dealing with a significantly heavier rotor and caliper which will increase rotating mass as well as unsprung weight. You have to weight the advantages.
