See if a different version of the talon has rotors in back. Buy the mounting braket for those from an OEM parts store, or get them from a junkyard. Then buy aftermarket rotors and pads. The mounting braket may be integrated into the hub. It depends on the car, and I don't know much about Eagle talons? Anyway, that's what I'm planning. Well, except the mounting braket/hub from a 2002 Civic Si/SiR and aftermarket rotors and then aftermarket brake pads. Then maybe a new master cylinder. That is if the stock one doesn't dish out enough force for the new rotors. Some experimentation would be in order to find out.

ya, master cylinder, ebrake cables, lines, LCA's, discs, calipers. 2k1 EL, or SiR should work.

Oh yeah, the e-brake lines too. That is if the ones for the rotors aren't the same. Brake lines too, unless they're the same. Yeah, calipers too (of course). What are LCA's?
