It is physically possible to do this. But it wouldn't make any sense.

The vast majority of braking on the 300C is done by the front brakes. On a street car, you are nowhere near the thermal limits of your stock rear brakes. For a car that may get taken to the track, the front brakes are the first priority for upgrade. And the bulk of the improvement in brake pedal feel comes from replacing the front brakes with a StopTech or Brembo kit. The rear upgrade is primarily cosmetic. And if you just do the rear, then it would look rather odd.

Can I ask what motivated your question? I'm just trying to figure out what you are trying to accomplish so I can give you the best possible advice.

I think there were a few already here when I signed on. But there are certainly lots more now!

Dave, we'll be in touch soon. I'm looking at getting some drilled & slotted rotors and upgrade to the Hawk Brake Pads.
