You can't put front rotors on the rear.  Nobody (that I have found yet
- maybe CSP can get Kerschers) makes rear disc brake kits specifically
for type3.  What I did was use CB Performance rear disc brake kit
(roto-hub) for type1 IRS.  It is a bolt on except the parking brake
cable attach.  I thought I got around this without making the
"bushing", but found out I was wrong.  I just gotta remember to make
the "bushing".  The kit comes with new brake cables, but ofcourse they
are too short to fit our cars, so you need a way to attach the stock
type3 cable to the caliper for actuation of the parking brake.

If you need more info, email me off list.
