wow hopefully you're not buying all your part at autozone. You can find used parts on ebay,l car-parts.com, craigslist.org, and others.

Looks like loaded means it includes the bracket too. Buying the caliper is actually not a bad price considering i paid $90 for my used one.

As for the brackets you posted is not what i meant but you need those too since its for your brake pads.

Master cylinder: Make sure its for the car with abs or VR4 and try ebay, got mine for $22shipped

Lines: yep those the one

Pads: Yep those the ones i have

Speed bleeder: You really don't need this. I bought one because the oem was all bent up. I recommend using Motive speed bleeder for bleeding process

Rotors: You have to drill new holes. Make sure its for galant VR4 and turboed
The rotors has to be 276mm as mentioned in my previous post.
The 3000gt rotors wouldn't work because it has 5 lug holes which interferes with the drilling process and its also bigger than 276 for vr4 model.
If you don't know what you're doing I would have a shop drill for you.

And I forgot to mention that the GSX caliper needs 15"+ rims to fit


*Doing this brake upgrade can be a safety issue and I'm not liable*

i read on mirage forums a gy has these.


http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...pe=221&PTSet=A

im also thinking of buying aarons setup but it seems he is ery adament on the "as is" so i am thinking he has a frozen caliper or something... my guess at least.

so i thinking if a guy said those rotors work and i can get the calipers loaded for 130$ i can do this for around 3-4oo

Guys don't do this it won't work properly on a Lancer ES. On an OZ Rally/LS everything will fit but you will run into some issues. For either setups there is not sufficient brake power to be able to have a good pedal feel. You don't have any pedal pressure until 90% of the way down and then it's kind of like On/OFF Braking. I'll bring this to light soon.

you have tried this? you sure everything was bled correctly? ever think about upgrading the master cylinder or bolting it to the firewall?

I don't see why not it wont work properly. The Lancer's brake system is exactly like the Mirage.
How did you bleed the system?
I know when i swapped mine over it felt i had to press almost all the way to brake but after awhile of driving and the pad and rotors has gotten to know each other, I didn't have to brake as far.

Yes, I have tried this. Everything was bled correctly, and the reason that I'm saying you won't have proper pedal feel is because I DID try to change the master cylinder to both a 3000gt vr-4 master cylinder and a Ralliart master cylinder. Neither of which work, because on the Lancer they changed to 1 connection for every side of braking, which means on the Lancer master cylinder you have 4 lines that plug into it. On the Mirages, you have 3, on the 3000gt you have 3, and on the Ralliart you have 2. Unless you can find a shop to Custom make a master cylinder, there is no way to get sufficient brake pedal pressure to take advantage of the kit and have a comfortable pedal feel. It is still possible to bolt it on but not very re-assuring.
