If I wanted to add spacers to the front to run larger calipers, would it chnage any handling characteristics? Is it require to run spacers on the rears also?

If you run spacers on just the front the car will tend to understeer less. Some people can tell a difference with spacers as small as 3mm.

Hmm interesting.
Now can I ditch the larger sway bar and run more spacers up front for a more neutral handling?
(I think i'm going to need 5-7mm for the wheels to clear the caliper)
Thanks for the reply.
