Fitted bigger disc on the S

I can confirm that the base front calipers will fit on the back of a 996 carrier. It should fit the rear of a 986 S too. I can't say how well it will work though. The front base caliper does have much larger Pistons than the rear S caliper.

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.
