Lancer 5-lug & Rear Disc Conversion Part List
hay..
i was curious abt how hard it is to make my brakes ABS and is it even possible..?
i already have front evo brembos.they help alot...and its away better than stock..
but thats only in high speeds.and since my car is over 300hp now.and i race in the streets i feel that i need abs for the lower speeds..sometimes i cant accelrate because i have to leave room for braking..which is bad.and i face that alot.
so any ideas abt that
thx

ABS will require at the very least:
ABS computer
ABS equipped wiring harness
ABS axles
ABS sensors
ABS front+rear hubs
ABS master cylinder
ABS brake lines
It is a ton of work. You are better off swapping the rest of your car to an ABS shell.
That aside, I am also curious why Galant or Eclipse brakes won't work. The only difference I can think of would be the caliper position and possible e-brake lines.

Ok, let me rephrase. I don't know if it will work. The Eclipse/Galant and Ralliart have different part #'s for their rear caliper. If the bolt hole distance on the calipers is different, then the caliper won't work.
Most of the brake shoe hardware is the same, but the brake shoes themselves are different. The backing plate is also different. The Eclipse/Galant backing plate design hasn't changed in years. The Ralliart backing plate is a unique design. This is probably because the rear suspension design of the Eclipse/Galant is different from that of the Ralliart.
So I don't know if Eclipse/Galant parts will work. As far as Mitsu part #'s go, they don't match up - so in my opinion they won't work. Now that's not to say you couldn't use the rear caliper from an Eclipse/Galant and modify the backing plate or caliper mounting to get it to work. Same with the backing plate - it might fit with minor modification. E-brake cables are also slightly different. All these little differences have turned a bolt-on swap into alot of questions and maybes. Personally, I would rather perform the swap knowing that all the parts will fit and have a 100% stock-like feel and stock-like appearance.
This thread was made to document the parts needed to perform a rear disc/5-lug swap using parts from the Ralliart as they are 100% compatible and there is ZERO doubt in their fitment. Parts are also easily sourced from various locations and don't need to be located overseas from non-USDM Mitsubishi vehicles.

Ok. Below is the picture of the complete set up from which I got off of what I thought was an 04 Galant and turned out to be an 02. From the workshop manual the bolt on setup looks the same with the bolts shown. How does it look in your opinion? I'm located in Barbados. Galant in question is a 2002 Galant - Super Saloon.

Those definitely will not work. The spindle that the hub assembly bolts onto is a part of the rear trailing arms themselves. This is where the suspension differences between the Galant/Eclipse and Ralliart differ entirely and cause most of the brake assemblies not to be compatible between the models.

Ok im really really sorry for withholding information but ive been running this setup for almost most a year now. I have 1g diamante twin calibers with galant vr4 rotors in the front and 3g mirage rotors, calibers and brake bracket in the back. I installed a 3000gt proportioning vavle to add more power to the brakes and everything works out perfect. The car stops way better with this brake setup than factory, enough to throw the balance of the front wheels.
