This is incorrect. The number that I have verified fitment is HB214N.618 for HP Plus.
The HPS will be the same number with the N changed to a different letter.
The Hawk break down is:
HB Hawk Brakes
214 Pad style
N compound
.618 friction material thickness

even if the GTS uses single piston calipers, is it possible the mounting bracket is the same? can any of the shops verify this? because that would mean the RRM/Rotara kit for the GTS would fit our cars. 11" factory rotors on a 4500lb car is ridiculous! my CTS was 1000lbs lighter and it came with factory 13" rotors.

Our car is around 3400 lbs. You may be confusing the curb weight for the gross vehicle weight. If I remember correctly, the front knuckle is the same on GTS and Ralliart, so they should be interchangeable.

The ralliart shares all the front brake components of the 07-10 Mitsubishi outlander. The lancer GTS has single piston calipers and the ralliart has two piston calipers. The stock brakes suck ***. I'm waiting till my pads wear some more to go to hawk HPS. I heard those pads are much better an the brake feel is noticable.

thanks for that info! any chance you guys will be making an RA 330mm BBK? i find Wilwood is more reasonably priced, and they look better than the Rotaras.

Brake Info
The ralliart actually gets it's brakes from the Outlander SUV. The calipers on the GTS are single piston, while the ralliart has 2 pistons. The rotors are also slightly larger on the ralliart that the GTS. I noticed a big difference when I switched to the Hawk HPS pads.
