Default Brake upgrade questions

I have a pretty stock 02 225TTQR - that I plan on first changing to a more aggressive set of wheel/tire combination, something along the lines of Neuspeed's 10 spoke 18" or the new Audi OEM 9-spoke 18" wheels. (I think 19s are too big)

At the same time I am going with a big brake set, looking for uprated, drilled, vented rotors and calipers (6-pot maybe?) up front.
Once I do this can I then take the former front calipers and rotors and replace the smaller back ones with these?
What kits would you guys recommend? (so far I've come across Brembo, Zimmerman, Stoptech and Wilwood).

To top all of this off I shall upgrade the ECU - thinking Abt or GIAC, though others come highly recommended. However, I believe I ought to be able to stop first before going faster.

Any other recommendations, thoughts, suggestions, facts will be very greatly appreciated.
Many thank yous in advance.

Not really, they talk about big brake kits they are planning on doing but I am looking for peopole's experiences and more specifically if I can move the original front rotors and calipers and put them at back?

I just had Brembo rotors (stock size, cross drilled) installed with EBC Green Stuff pads on Monday. It freakin ROCKS!!!! The car stops on a dime. If you are looking to stay stock size and dont want to mess with the calipers, so far I would highly recommend this option. I have only done the front so far, the rears are still totally stock.
