1G brake upgrade 90awd

styx · Jul 5, 2005

90 eclipse gsx----i am going to replace calipers and pads and rotors in the front and rear. i hear that the 3000gt brakes could fit, or a dual piston caliper from a later model eclipse. anyone know if these are a direct bolt in and what year 3000gt do i have to get the calipers, rotors from. i have 16" wheels on my car now and no i am not going to get bigger rims and no i am not going to buy expensive aftermarket brand stuff like wilwood or brembo so don't waste my time like every one else who posted this question that i looked up. oe mitsu stuff that fit another vehicle and will fit mine is what i want. if there is something that is bigger for the rear brakes (oe parts from another vehicle), so that the parking brake will still work, i would appreciate that knowledge to

92-94 GSX brakes are upgrades to just about any DSM.

3000GT VR4 brakes are also upgrades, except now you have to take clearance issues into play.

just do a search around, I've seen numerous articles about this before. try www.VFAQ.com or the tech articles here

Go to DSM trader and look for someone selling 94 and up GSX front brakes. Get the attach brackets for the calipers as well. I think I got mine from Mitsu graveyard for around $130.00. Your other option is to buy loaded calipers from an auto parts store (Like Advance Auto) they will come overhauled with pads and the brackets. All you have left to buy then is the rotors and fluid to do the swap.

The 3000GT "Big Brake Upgrade" mod has been done before...

His wheels looked bigger than stock though (17's... 18's...???), and I believe he had to use fabricated brackets.

Of course, you could always go with the GSX option, for something a little more direct.

SO you'll spend $15k on a custom wiring harness for another $25k worth of sensors on your car, but you refuse to spend $800 on a 4 piston 12" rotor setup like Baer sells. WTF

BTW I have the 3000gt sl brake upgrade (dual piston). Fits my 16" wheels perfectly.
