Not worth it IMO, too much money, trade your car in and buy a real evo if ya want the benefits of one.

why not go to a local brake soecialist/shop, and find out if they can do it or not...another idea is to find it from a wrecked RA and transplant all theparts from the RA...just a thought but you wouldva found htat out if you would have searched

There is one actually but you have to search to find it because no one posts in it.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isnt a Rally Art a 5 lug while the 02-03 Lancer is a 4 lug? So wouldnt taking the rear disks off of a Rally Art impossible with out re-doing a lot of stuff? I may be wrong but i just cant remember.

my brother's ralliart is 5 lug.. that means you would have to buy two more matching rims in 5 lug version. This is another one of those threads that it means its DO-ABLE, but COSTS ALOT!!! geez.. anything is possible. I could have a rocket powered lancer if I had about 1,000,000 dollars too.

why dont you take a day... rip off your brothers hub and see if they fit on to your hub... if so then thats all that will needed to be transplanted plus wheels(beyond the brake parts)... which whould make this a very cost effective upgrade.

what is more cost effective is to get the ralliart rear rotors and get them redrilled and balanced. 5x114 -> 4x114(oz/ls) is doable. not sure if 5x114 > 4x100(es) is? you'd have to draw the bolt patterns on cad or similar to make sure the holes don't overlap from redrilling. or you can find another car that has the same dimension rotor with a 4 lug 4x100 pattern.

If new users would read the forum rules like they're supposed to, they'd have already seen the search policy. Oh well, such is life.

On topic, good lord, your 2.0L Lancer does not and will not require rear disk brakes. If you feel insecure in your braking system, upgrade the front rotors and pads for better grip and fade characteristics. See Roadracemotorsports.com.
