Rotor/caliper swap for AT car?

Let's sayf or example a wrecked/totaled 6 spd Rx8...

Has anybody considered bolting on a 6spd front brake set to an AT car?

Are the spindles the same? Can you simply mount new rotors and calipers off a 6 spd on to an AT car?

What about caliper mounts? ABS calibrations?

Same bolt pattern?

thanks,

on the base model they may be different but if you have at least a sport model low-power with the larger wheels than you have the same brakes as the hi-power folk.

I'm talking about a base AT car.

If the bolt pattern is the same (I think it is) that least makes the hub/offsets 'potentially' same. If different bolt patter - it's a hub or spindle swap for sure.

IF hubs et al are same either way then the upgrade could in theory be a bolt on swap of rotors/calipers and caliper mounts.

Anybody know?

Also what about bias or ABS calibrations and speed sensors?
