Swapping front and rear discs?

Hey, so I just upgraded my rear end with one from an 89 iroc and it came with the bigger 11" rear discs. Im just wondering if I could swap those bigger rear brakes onto the front of the car? Wouldnt that give me better braking?

Won't fit the OE set-up. You can, however, fit the 1LE system on the fronts for a decently matched pair (Check my Car Details below for pics). Spohn sells a kit. More info on the how-to in the following link:
