You can't... Well not without huge amounts of arsing around with bespoke brackets and the need for a seperate handbrake caliper anyway...

Yeh I think it would be more hastle than its worth tbh, either go with the 310 R32/ S3 set up or get a 4 pot kit but they are expensive and mostly for show really. The brake bias is nearly all front, I would spend the money on bigger fronts/ MC upgrade/ 2 piece discs etc..

I've got some 4 pots on the way for the fronts and someone told me that you can fit them on the rear without much work but can't remember how he said to do it! :/ thought I better ask before ordering new discs and pads for the rears
