Thanks, Mike, I guess here goes my explanation:

The Lancer replaced the Mirage. The 4G94 is a derivitive of the 4G92, and the suspension and some of the drivetrain have to be similar, so I searched the net, and fount http://mirageforums.net. On there, they detailed a Big Brake upgrade by using GSX calipers. I figured, "Ok, if our car came from a Mirage, then why shouldn't our hubs be similar?" The place I ordered the calipers from didn't have the GSX ones, and I needed calipers today, so I went for GS-T calipers that are still 25% bigger.

The only difference between the two calipers are where the Banjo fittings go. I had to move the brake line to one side for clearance issues, but they fit perfectly. The pads are larger, the piston is larger, and the car stops even quicker.

I am going to take pics tomorrow and post them on here. This is a cheap upgrade for bigger brakes AND...you can find pads that fit the calipers (Axxis among others) and drilled/slotted rotors.


GS-T? does this mean like the 4g64 eclipes? I would love to do this swap thanks
