Yes, too much rear brake in relation to the front is a bad thing. The set
needs to be balanced to achive the best braking. Don't know if HP-2 would fit in the rear though, I wouldn't want to try it.

I assume that with the right mounting bracket they would fit (more)
but like others have said - you'll need to balance that out with something really big up front to maintain something resembling the current bias.
I have been looking into brake options for a while now and will have something completed in the next little bit. Looks like Vast performance and Stasis have options for the rear that involve using an S4 rear caliper. The Vast kit mates that to with an S8 rear rotor. The Stais kit with one of their rotors. With those in mind last week I picked up a set of B5 S5 rear calipers - used ones from a local seller. When I figure out next steps I'll let you know.

here is the VAST kit:
I have it bookmarked so I'll save you the search. note this is for an S4, so I am not sure whether the caliper brackets will mount straight up to the allroad, or whether something would need to be machined.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vastperformance.com/products/braking.php">http://www.vastperformance.com/products/braking.php</a</li></ul>

it was an "I wonder" question being I'll have two sets of HP-2s.
After I rebuild and rfinish them both, I was wondering; perhaps both would fit f+R?
So I'll just sell the extra set after I redo them.
