I think in theory the rear is doable and might give you a slight advantage over the McPherson struts. I was going to use the 996 rear suspension on a mid-engine 911 project I have planned. I bought some solid mounts for mine but I can't remember from who. As for using the rear 996 on the front, I think you'll lose some front braking compared to S rotors/calipers. Maybe even base rotors/calipers too
