Default Brake expert please

I have a set of rear 964 Turbo Calipers I would like to use on the rear of my 89 951.

Stock 944T Rear calipers have 28/30mm pistons and 299x24mm rotors.

The 964T has 30/34mm pistons and 298x28mm rotors.

Can I use front 87-88 turbo rotors (298x28)?

Will this have a significant effect on the brake bias?

What else do I need to know?

The rear brakes on these cars are very good. I am using 996TT calipers in front with standard 951 brakes in back and they are well balanced (the rears still lock up before the fronts). If you go that route you will need a proportioning valve to balance the fronts and the rears out. Something like this, it is more set up to adjust bias on the fly from the driver's compartment.

Okay thanks. I think I should just stick with what I have then.
