Just make sure that you have the correct brake balance between front and rear. No good having all on the front and not enough on the rear or visa versa. Ask LOF what they recommend to match their brakes on the front. What you don’t want is to find out it is unbalanced in an emergency. By then it will be too late.

It's better to have too much on the front then too much on the rear.
I don't know if you have abs (i don't) but if you have too much on the front the abs will work on the front axle and you will get maximum breaking out off all anyway. If you have too much at the rear you might turn around in a corner while breaking quickly.

not sure of the specific piston sizes on the LR's but in most cases you will find that the front calipers would add far too much effort if switched to the rear regardless of your front set-up........
