A few years back I was playing with fitting Porsche 944S2 calipers on my 550 spyder project. I investigated using the smaller rears on the front so they could clear a 15" wheel. One thing that may be a barrier is that sometimes rear calipers use different size pistons, where the leading piston is smaller diameter than the trailing piston to give a more progressive breaking feel. You don’t want this on the front of your elise, check the calipers for this IMO before you proceed.
