It's been a month or two since I've plowed through the (mostly useless) sticky thread on the subject . . . was the main reason for the expense the actual cost of parts? Cost after shipping overseas? I can totally see a dealer charging an exorbinant amount for all those parts new shipped over here - but how about a junkyard hookup? I'd love to find something based out of the Phillipines where one could (in theory) get the rear disc parts dirt cheap. I mean, the car's been around for like 7 years in most countries.
And what I can't justify is buying a T1-R or fastbrakes rear disc conversion, and having a rear rotor that's vastly oversized for the application. Not only is it extra weight to pull around and for the suspension to deal with, but I still need to be able to mount up my 14" winter rims. And having rotors larger than the front is rather silly.
