Question disc brakes in rear

Just curious, cuz im a n00b.......how difficult would it be to remove the existing drum brakes in the rear, and replace them with discs? Also, just a ball park estimate of how much it would cost would be much appreciated! I just got my Lancer like two weeks ago, and I love it!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance!

Tony

RPW has the kit and they are in Australia. Vision Imports maybe imports it. I know someone on the forum has it in their sig that they import the kits - don't remember who.

I know RPW (mitsiman on the forums) has said that he is usually backorded on the kit and just sends them out to the next person on the wait list as he gets them in. I think they can be expected to run about $700 plus installation, but I could be very wrong.

As far as I know, ES only cause it's a 4X100 disc brake conversion. The LS & OZ are 4X114.3.
