Default rear caliper on its way out?

HI

my right rear brake caliper has got stuck twice now locking my rear end up in traffic. Each time by pumping the brakes alot it eventually recovers. Its about time to get new pads and rotors aswell.

What options do i have in a slight rear upgrade? Could i swap a set of gxp front calipers onto my rear with little modification?

No, the emergency brake is within the rear rotor and not the caliper.

When I find time, I will post info on my brake upgrade solution for us.
