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.
i have a similar setup i run mini cooper s rotors, diamante twin calipers with 276 font rotors and 1g eclipse calipers in the back with a custom bracket for it

Its actually pretty easy to do. I think the hardest thing was the parking brake cable hook up.

hey senate I called that online store you had the link to... and they don't have them either and they couldn't get ahold of them either because he said they checked and NO dealers or parts shop has those. I guess I will just have to get the brake line and bend it myself.

I called the Mitsu dealer I get stuff from and they said they could order them both for next week. It's not a part they stock, but it's one they can order. Nobody is going to have them in stock, they are specialty order only. This is why those links indicate that they "usually ship in 4-10 business days".

when i did my rear brake swap i used the brakes from an early 90s mirage sedan. the caliber bracket is almost a direct bolt on. i had to make the bolt holes bigger so the hub would fit in without rubbing( and that is a really tight fit). the whole swap is the same as what the 5g mirage do. another thing is a week after i finished it i noticed that the rear rotors were larger than the front

i just realised that link62 has an es which runs a 4-110 hub and my oz is a 4-114 hub. if you wanted use the galant vr4 or 3g mirage rotors then you would have to switch all the hubs to 4-114 or do it like link did.
