I've searched this but haven't found a definitive answer. I know its not possible to just do a bolt on switch with the rears because of the p brake or at least I've heard this. But I would like to know if you can swap out the front pads and rotors with the slightly larger S rotors and pads. Has anyone done this and is it possible?

The dimensions are:
Base Front Disc 298mm x 24mm, Pistons in Calipers 2x40,2x36 mm , pad area 216 cm^2

S Front Disc 319mm x 28mm, Pistons in Calipers 2x40,2x36 mm, pad area 254 cm^2

and as for the front calipers I believe they are exactly the same.
