Yeah I know where your parts are coming form, but just saying there have been fakes on ebay and the like... And not necessarily Lancer specific parts, I was saying in general.

I found some matching (same size) slotted rears, might not add performance but will match the look of the fronts too.... Made in Canada.

Pity DBA does not open their eyes and make something for this ready-made market...

tell me about it DBA are really annoying on their range. they do a good product but don't support every car on the market. I couldn't get DBA's for my tiida when i had it and still can't with my volvo but i at least expected the volvo. i can get RDA's though for the c30 dunno about the tiida.

could always go some alcon's of course :D

Yeah... really not sure about doing brakes on mine. I don't push it at all really and the stock ones seem to work fine for me so... yep it'd just be for the size if I bite the bullet and get a set of 18's on.

I cannot find a reference for RDA slotted rears for mine Adrian.at .. if available then fine.. but if not Canada can provide. Unfortunate, because am really an advocate of buying from an Australian (when the product is comparable and price competitive).

Another site, modyourcar.com.au, also have the brake packages, but for the price you only get 6 piston not 8.... once again its the lack of price competitiveness that makes it difficult to buy Australian.

you also have more security with ebay now then before as now for stores if ebay receives a bad report about that shop, ebay increases there rent so to speak. so allot of ebay shops. don't want to get a bad rep. just for that factor.

also why do you need 8pot brakes? are you gonna do drag racing? or rallying?

Blakey, because they are available and I can...

Why do I need a 250 RWHP Ducati worth $50K????

Why do I need a 6 bedroom property with 2 kitchens and 3 bathrooms... and only 1 child plus me/wife here?

I am getting 8 spotters....

hey you didnt really need those wheels Blakey.. didn't your stock rims go round and round too?!?!? Or did Mitsubishi give you square wheels? Just a waste of money?

Brakes would be more necessary than wheels, at least in practical application....

Adrian, I don't feel rocked by that... I know all of what I have done is unnecessary.. my last car was a stock Daewoo Matiz, remember me saying...

But I think Blakey is not being practical, its not like his car will see a turbo... maybe mine will. That being the case, I think I need at least what an RA or EVO has in the stopping department...

As people follow along with each other's builds, it may be apparent to others that I have started on better handling, with all the suspension upgrades. Next, and most logically should be brakes. Then the turbo.

None of this is necessary, any of the mods, down to my glowing ricey emblem.. but calling a kettle black is not a good look for a guy with big aftermarket, yet still unnecessary, wheels...

How about more people chime in with HELPFUL advice, rather than philosophical objection (to which I couldn't give a f*ck).

Tryg, I should've been clearer... Don't forget that Blakey has a bodykit getting put on as we speak!! Not don't you forget it as such! :lol:
