you could...but as pointed out before you will need a master cylinder upgrade for 4 of these.....wonder if you'll need a new MC with just the front two???

You're starting to sound like me ura. See page 2. Also need an adaptor to attach to the stock caliper mount move the caliper out to have it fit over an oversized rotor...many tidbits to cover.

I saw some new Tenzo rotors that are supposed to work with your stock calipers..If they have 4x100 rotors, those should fit with rest of our stock parts (ES). Hmmmm I think an e-mail is in order!!!

If you using the stocking calipers, that is just upgrade the disk only. That won't help for the brake performance.

I wouldn't say that. Any time you increase rotor surface area and diameter (leverage) and maybe a couple of slots if you're braking really hard, it should help a bit.

but your caliper are the same, so large disk won't help much.

Nope....the AEM ones won't fit....hub size is good, but apparently the thickness of the rotor is different on a Civic...oh well.....Just looking for some decent rotors to replace those ****ty rusty stock things.

Couldn't you just grab a MC from another car like an Eclipse or EVO that has all wheel disc?

how hard would it be to replace the MC for the lancer? and would it due any good? or would you just wear the pads faster?

straight up, these things sound tight as hell, but the problem is, the calipers are only slotted, not cross drilled AND slotted. the willwood setup for the fronts is both, and they come with like 12 or 14" rotors, AND you can get the set for like 750 if you just search the internet
