'15 RA Caliper Covers - compatibility?

Hey all, had some questions about the MGP Caliper Covers!

I'm looking into buying a set (for front and rear brakes) for my new '15 Ralliart. Only problem is, the site only lists custom sets for the GT and the SE in the 2015 year model. Here's the link:

http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/61A7417A0A0.aspx

Anyone with experience with caliper covers know if the GT set will be compatible with a Ralliart, or will there be sizing issues/other compatibility problems?

Please let me know, thanks!

(well, it is considered rice-crispy to most of us...)


If you want to improve the looks of the quickly rusted and hideous calipers - just take the time to clean and paint them with a brush-on kit. Takes one day and lasts pretty long.


Another option is to go with a big brake kit/improved calipers and rotors $$$.


To answer your original question, the EVO X Brembo and Lancer SE calipers (front and rear) are different from Ralliart.

Yeah, I've considered painting em but I'm moving to Alaska pretty soon, and I know the salted/gravelly roads are just gonna tear into the paint and I'd have to keep re-painting em every month. I figured the covers would last a lot longer, and they also say they act as a heat sink and dust brake reducer which is nice.

Definitely don't have the dough (now or probably ever) for a big brake kit lol

By the way, you just mentioned the SE, do you know if the GT has the same brakes as the RA?
