for 750.... thats what i was planning to do before but decided not to and instead just get the brembo rotors then a axxis pad.... if you will not use ur car for motocross its not worth except for the looks... lol.... i just got the brembo today and probably try to do an tutorial on how to put it.... i will try to post a pic of the rotor at the general for everyone to see it.....

depending on ur skill level, on a scale of 1-10,10 being the hardest, i'd have to give it a 7-8, if u dont know much about brakes, otherwise i'd give it a 5-6.

The difficult parts are just getting the never-removed bolts off. Man, those caliper bolts were a b!tch.

I had a set of wilwoods on my crx and I plan on getting them for my lancer fairly soon as well. I did some research on the Lancer kit and they're all set up pretty much the same. As someone else said, once you get the bolts off that hold the stock calipers on, it's not too bad. They provide an adapter that gets bolted in the old caliper location, and then you bolt the new caliper to the adapter. Other than that, the rotors go on just like stock rotors (except that wilwood rotors are usually 2-piece so you may have to assemble the rotor), swap out the stock lines for the steel braided ones and that's pretty much it. I may have skipped a few small things but you get the general idea. Now go buy and install them!!!

Your ES is 4x100, but our LS/OZ are 4x114.3
