And they won't listen to us - "bigger is better" they say.

Main point is... YOU CANT STOP FASTER THEN YOUR TIRES ALLOW NO MATTER HOW BIG OF BRAKES YOU HAVE!
post thought... just b/c you are turbo doesnt mean you need bigger brakes, power has nothing to do with the need for bigger brakes.

If you guys don't want to do a brake swap then don't even bother posting here.
Please post something useful.
My point is let them do what they want to do with their money.

so RPW makes a rear disc brake conversion for our lancers...but my question is that can I just source the parts myself?
I need mirage calipers and mirage rotors. Obviously brake lines and e-brake hardware.
What about the brake caliper bracket?
Sorry if this stuff seems beginner but i'd much rather do this myself even if really doesn't make a difference like some people are saying...looks way cooler than drums.
thanks

I appreciate the honestly but still I would like to understand how the kit goes together...sometimes people get lucky and come across a good car on ebay or in the local junkyard.
Can anybody chime in on how the kit is brought together...what parts from the mirage do I need?
thanks

Thanks for the suggestion...but my question is that since I have an OZ I'd rather not do the redrilling...I want a full swap over...just parts
What rotor do I use now that has the 4 x 114 pattern? Also the 2 piston caliper that RPW is using on their front and rear kit...what car is that from? I am assuming i just use the caliper bracket from the new caliper and that will bolt up just fine?
What up the parking brake assembly?
I know this has been probably discussed before but since we have this new forum, might as well have a full knowledge transfer
