Front calipers

Hello

Can front breaks from megane be used in the rear ( changing the drums to discs?)

What are differences from front calipers of Megane 1.6e and rear breaks of R19/Clio 16v/R5GTT?

Tnx

And one more thing.

How can I know that breaking systems needs bleeding?

I made a R19 16v breaks conversion on 1.6e megane, but now I must press much harder to stop?

theoretically yes. But you'd need to make brackets to space the calipers out correctly/mount them to the hubs, use discs of such a thickness that the pistons wont pop out of the calipers when the pads wear down, and arrange the handbrake to operate hydraulically.

So basically no

front and rear calipers are totally different
