Try the www.lancerregister.com, they get the JDM/RS with the smaller brakes, and often people take them off and put on Brembos or bigger. Also try
www.coordsport.com. They sell lots of the Group N stuff, including the brakes.

I bet theres plenty of RS owners that would jump at the upgrade if you offered the swap.

No clue why you would want to do it though unless you are building a serious dirt rally car - in which case why arent you using an RS in the first place....

The US RS is like a tarmac spec RS.

So it comes with brembo's and recaro's. So you could say its not a 'true' RS.

What brand/type of wheel, what size (16x?), and what offset? I've heard of a lot of 17" wheels being too small, and I've NEVER heard of a 16" wheel fitting!

Image wheels.co.uk. Their over in the UK. Bought from a shop in Phoenix. Anglo American road racing. 877-flat-out. 16x5 for snow. Three piece. Can change the inside half to make them wider. Billet centers. I searched for a year and a half. Went too the SEMA and PRI shows. Had engineering diagrams with all the dimensions. Can't find one at the moment. First set went back cause they didn't clear. The problem is clearing the calipers width(and the price). Two other companies could make them but were over $200. per wheel more. One of the co. I had already tried there wheels on a Indy lights car with nothing but tire failures.

we offer the RS brakes. Several here got them from us (Dynoflash, Buschur, Pruven, as well as a few other drag guys scatered across the country)

Complete kits are available with calipers, pads, rotors, brackets and hardware - all 100% bolt on
