Nissan brake caliper question...

Cars are not like bicycles, most of the braking is done up front.
Don't waste your money because you'll cause serious issues.

Cars are like bicycles in this regard, at least to an experienced cyclist. The only thing that is really different b/t a car and a bicycle is that the weight distribution is 'adjustable' on a bicycle. The same can be said for motorcycles.

Even if there was a substantial change, the bias is easily adjusted...
Most ways of doing this swap would actually move the bias to be front heavy

Yep, except for that initial pull, bikes are mostly front as well.

I adjusted my weight right over the handlebars when I was a kid.
