Bad idea to install rear brembo's on 5AT coupe?

I recently picked up a set of rear brembo's from a 6MT G.. I'm looking for a set of fronts but I'll I'm seeing is whole packages of 4 or absolutely rediculous prices for two fronts... I can't wait to install these! Would it be a bad idea to install these and leave the stock brakes up front untouched? I'm afraid it will cause some imbalance and the car will brake weird.

I have a set of four for sale right now, lol. I would part out my two fronts but people only want the set of four. I was told not to install rears by themselves but our cars are front biased anyways so maybe in the short time it wont hurt? Good luck

I wouldn't do it. Could send too much brake bias rearward and cause them to come close to lock up prematurely. VDC will obviously help somewhat, but it will be more difficult to control. I don't know this for sure, but based on the rotor and piston sizes, my guess is the bias would be off.
