Not all of us have the money to blow on a set of AP Racing brakes like you!

Using the brakes from the newer platform isn't going to affect bias in any significant way in this particular case.
Understood. My point is that I think you would be better off keeping your OE brakes instead of building a Frankenbrake. I know it's been done before on other platforms, and I know many people swear it works great. I'm just not a believer in going this route. I would rather save my money and stick with OE. Upgrade the pads, lines and fluid.
