Why not? Because they're probably way to big for any wheel under 17", have 5 lugs, and probably wouldn't fit without some wheel offset adjustments. Let alone Lancer calipers probably wouldn't be able to stop that freakin' dinner plate sized rotor.

Ok...just remember: the swapability for parts between Lancers and Evos is close to nill. The Evo VII comes stock with 5 lug hubs so take into consideration that the rotor pictured was more than likely custom fabricated before you go spearheading into this.

The pic shown a WRC EVO with AP (I think they're still the vendor) 6-pot caliper.

I think give it some time, more and more brake kits will be popping out for the Lancer

They may be expensive to fab for the USDM Lancer, but 10grand a corner? Let's not get crazy here.

damn you beat me to it...they cost more than your car that's why
Unless you race your car, you don't need big brakes. Stopping distances won't be much shorter, mostly you're going for lots of fade free stops. I can't see spending thousands for a "look".
