front rotors
 
My front rotors are warped. I dont have the cash to replace them right now, but I was wondering, would it be possible to swap the front rotors with the rear?

nope, sorry - rear rotors have the mergency brake drum built into them for one thing.

You could get the surfaces remachined for pretty cheap. Then slap on some new pads and drive a little slower.

If the rotors arent warped badley, you could switch to some harder pads, some semi mettals or something and those could maybe get rid of the warpage. I did this to a legacy and it worked great.

What are the condition of your pads? Get your rotors turned for like $10, and if you're pads are in ok condition, you'll be fine. :)

If the rotors are slightly wapred and your pads are worn as well, using the semi-metallic pad trick does work. These performance pads are much more abrasive than ordinary organic pads and will eventually 'smoothen' the surface of your rotors again. ;)

You could also try what has worked for some - re-torque your rims to spec then do a couple high speed emergency stops. YMMV.
