true, but it goes from 2009 to 2012. kind of throws me off and i know the spacing is different from lancer gts even though diameter is the same. not retrying to order rotors just to send back last time i lost $60

The rotors SHOULD be the same between the RA and the GTS. My stock calipers fit perfectly on a GTS.

^^INCORRECT^^

I just recently change my front rotors and lost 100 bucks from getting the wrong ones. Althought the GTS and RA are similiar rotors they are different... by milimeters but none the less different.

The RA's are a bit thicker and heavier, I ordered mine thru a local aftermarket shop and got them slotted at KVR performance who got them from Centric.

A set of 4 oem replacement for me was 350 but I wanted slotted so it was 750. Whenever callin a place make sure they go thru the books and look it up as it is different.

yes the calipers fit but the threads posted from the swap state that the ralliart rotors have a different offset (hat placement is different)

anyways i went with the 09 ones since it also said outlander and many on here say it is the same as the outlander.


also cost $82 shipped :-)

That's funny that the GTS brakes thicker and lighter.
The rotors will fit, but because GTS rotors are thicker, the brake squealers will touch the rotor.

i went with the above. looking at them you can easily tell by the gap between hat and rotor surface

since the ralliart's are dual piston and thus greater braking force the rotor surface is vented through to the hat (that is what the gap is for) instead of just the OD of rotor.

when buying eclipse rotors i notice certain companies do this for diamante's and not eclipse's since diamante's use single piston although diamante's and eclipse's use literally the same rotor no offset difference.
