Request for pics of Wilwood big brake kit

Did a whole lot of searching, but I failed to find any posts with pictures of the Wilwood kit for our Lancers. Any of you guys that got in on the group buy a while back wanna take some pics for me? I'm looking at long-term upgrades right now, to start trying to save some money. I did find Sir LanceALot's page, but the pic wasn't at a very good angle. Maybe one with the wheel off? Don't go to a whole ton of troulbe though. I just want to see a pic straight from the side. Also, how hard are these to install? Just a simple bolt on and the bleed the lines? Thanks in advance.

He didn't really have the kit. He has the precursor to the kit.

The kit is on Lanceritiz' car. You can probably find pics by searching or checking the registry.

If you look up the group buy thread I started about a year ago you'll see pics of what makes up the kit.

Stew had them on his ride. THey look nice, but it almost seemed like just getting stainless brake lines plus some Axxis pads has the same effect for 1/10th the price.

That's why i'm curious. I'm working on a real-estate deal right now that could land me a chunk of cash, so that would help too

I think you're out of luck with 15" rims dude... hate to say it. Realistically, if the kit would have worked with 15" rims, I think many more kits would have been bought and likely that group buy wouldn't have been so slow to happen.

Maybe just some nice rotors, nice pads, and stainless steel brake lines would suit you? That should all feel pretty good.

Nope! Winter and downtime keep getting in the way! I think I'm going to strip and re-lacquer mine anyway. I'm not totally thrilled with the job I did the first time.
