Front rotors do not have the handbrake drum so it wont fit over the rear axle properly.

No..... However if you do that, your handbrake will be gone.

I'm not sure but I don't thing the caliper bracket holes wouldn't even line up with the rear axle stubs...So you'd need to make an adapter plate....:doubt:

Rear brakes are basically useless anyway. The bulk of the braking (read: about 65-75%) is done by the front brakes.

For a standard street setup, you really don't need rear calipers bigger than the AWD/Ralliart spec. Race setups on the other hand are a whole new ball game.
