Default CTSV rear calipers on a 2000 WS6???

Can the rear CTSV calipers be used maybe with a slight modification to the stock setup?

Well....if you search you might get your answer

Here's one and here's another

Thing is, 90% of your braking is done with the fronts, no real need to put different rear calipers on, just seems like a big headache for nothing really.

You would need need to fab a custom bracket in order to adapt the caliper to the stock mounting bolt holes. It would need to be spaced out properly over the stock 12" rotor to ensure proper pads-to-rotor contact.

As far as I know, nobody has made a bracket as of yet.

lol, no problem. Try a few different phrasings, there's a lot more articles out there about it than the 2 i linked to. It just doesn't seem like a cost effective way to improve braking, especially being it would probably be such a minuscule amount.
