Yet another thread about Turboing a 03 lancer.
Yeah, I thought they had a kit for the ES also but I just double checked the site and I only see 114. Maybe it was brembo but those are WAY too expensive... I wouldn't have gotten the willwoods if it wasn't for speedcorps.

Yeah seen brembos thats crazy expensive. Brakes soom to be working pretty good although dont want to try any high speed braking until I get a few miles on them.
I don't know that I agree. I think it's nice regardless of drum or disc....not sure what makes a drum any more embarrassing than a FWD car or 4 lugs, or anything else. Like we always say, it's a lancer, not an evo. Don't hate, love it for what it is!

i couldnt agree more! not everyone can fork over the cash to do a rear disc conversion. as long as someone does what they like for them and no one else. i say good for them.

Rear disc isnt anything special anyways. When it comes right down to it rear disc is more looks than performance. It adds a little extra braking but nothing big. I hate when people mistake my car for an evo (which happens alot actually). Never wanted to make my car out to be something its not. I want the person to know they just lost to a sohc lancer not an evo

Well with rigorous pushing from Ryan lol I ordered some new tires. Same as his the Continental Extreme Contact DWS. Awesome tires I must say. I got an alignment before I installed the tires and yeah pretty annoyed with the last job I got as he did not adjust everything causing my wicked rear tire wear. So this time I sat out and supervised the alignment and am very pleased with the result now.
03, you need some sidewalls to fill that gap,bro, hope the new shoes have a bigger profile...i looked at those tires when i was shopping, but went with kumho, let us know how they grip, wet and dry...next time around i think i'll go for the dunlop star specs...
