The rear base calipers won't fit over the S rotor because of the pins that hold the pads. Maybe if you ground the pins down, the base caliper would fit over the S rotor.
I read somewhere with the base front caliper in rear of an S model you stand the chance of locking up the rear brake first. Is this even possible? I always thought the fronts did most of the work and the brake bias is set that way. I also heard both the s and base use the same size staggered pistons.
