i wouldnt do it, theres nothing to gain by doing one and youll run the risk of breaking something for no reason.

Doing a brake stand puts a lot of stress on your front-end. Also, you have braking going to the back that prevents this along with shock absorbers. Personally, I'd be suprised to see it even happen unless you did some mods.
