They are not interchangeable. If you could figure out a way to mount one on the front side of the car it would probably work. You just don't want the bleeder to be at the bottom...that would make bleeding a nightmare.

got you some calipers of ebay huh? I did the same but was happy just to get pads and hardware & brackets for the price. I considered plugging the exisiting holes and redrilling but will just resell the extra passenger caliper and picking up a new driver's from a dealer.
worst case, couldn't you bleed the caliper off of the bracket w/ the rotor in it then bolt it up after it was bled?
