I recently pruchased the Wilwood DynaPro Big Brake kit for my 2g fwd Eclipse, part #140-8292. I needed to upgrade since I worped the tiny stock 10" rotors with normal street driving, which seems to be common on the fwd turbos. The kit includes 12.2", 2 piece rotors, 4 piston calipers & PolyMatrix Q compound pads as well as all the required mounting hardware such as caliper relocation brackets etc. The only items not included are the SS braided brake lines, which much be purchased seperatley as the stock lines won't work with the Wilwood calipers. I purchased the complete setup with SS lines and upgraded to a HD rotor which is beefier, directionally vented & slotted from Todd at TCE www.tceperformanceproducts.com
The install is fairly straight forward and could be done by anyone with basic mechanical skills & tools in a couple hours. The only thing not included with the kit is .032" stainless steel safety wire, which is used to safety wire the rotor hat to rotor bolts. This can be purchased from your local motocross/atv store or airplane supply stores.
The install instructions from Wilwood are very detailed and there is no point in repeating them, so here is a link to the pdf:

*Note: There is one typo in the install instructions that should be pointed out. In the instructions it says that once you have test fitted all the components & are installing the caliper to caliper mounting bracket nuts, torque them to 47 ft/lbs. This is incorrect and if you follow this spec you will end up with stripped caliper mounting bracket studs (yes this is known from personal experience). The correct torque spec for the the caliper to caliper mounting bracket nuts is 32 ft/lbs. I did however find out that Wilwood has excellent customer service. I contacted them about what had happend and they send me up 4 replacement studs & nuts overnight express, at their expense so I could replace them all.
Here are some photos of both the stock & the Wilwood setup:
