2g eclipse gs-t calipers

[deafinite]

hey guys,

I am in Canada, so its pretty hard to find parts for my car, so I wanted to know what is a good set of brake calipers for a 2g eclipse gst? i like brembo's and i know evo 8 brembo caliper would fit, but unfortunately, evo 8's is never sold here, so no luck. what about wildwood ? anyone has it and is it good ? like legit? i am planning to build my car up to 300 hp, nothing to fancy and fast, i just want like proper, clean dsm. any help would be appreciate it!

evo 8 will work with an adapter. why not just order a set of gsx dual piston calpers and rotors. its a decent brake setup paint them whatever color you want for looks

My break setup

Outlander brackets
Stock GSX calipers
Porterfield RS-4 pads
Outlander rotors

I love this setup and works well but I'm gonna try R-4's next time I need pads.

I vote outlander fronts, stock rears. Slotted/drilled if you want but make sure to put in the SS lines. I run that with the expensive "House" brand pads and it was night and day over stock 2g gst brakes

If you want the best at a reasonable, term used loosely) then go with the brembos off an evo, like you mentioned. There are even better setups but you're talking near 2 grand. Maybe more. Even evo brakes will set you back, after everything needed and accessories, at least 800 or more. And thats used.

You can do the outlander setup up front and a early 95 rear in the back. best bang for the buck. Unfortunately it still a 500 dollar ordeal cause finding those rears is impossible. You have to buy new last time i checked.

Gofor on here liked the stock front and evo rears the best after trying all of the combinations. I think I'll try that next.

Check the salvage yards local to you for front calipers from AWD DSM's, or Non-turbo Dodge Stealth. Same calipers, except for how the brake line fits. Caliper rebuild kits are pretty cheap.

I have Stealth calipers on my ESi, and my TSi AWD is getting the Outlander brake upgrade.

RTM Racing has brake upgrades local to you if you want new everything.

Stealth calipers are not quite the same. Piston sizes arne different from dsm. Do not mix and match. Brake bias will change depending on what you choose.

 

[pksystems]

Okay.... well they bolt up, and fit over GSX Rotors. I'm using GSX front pads in them. They work awesome on my ESi that I added GSX rear discs to.

From the Centric caliper diagrams, they both have 43mm bores. Dual Piston. Only diff is GSX caliper brake line has banjo fitting.

Now that I think about it more.... the bias is changing no matter what he does. Bigger fronts are shifting it forward.

 

[pauleyman]

Yes of course it will change but my point is they are not the same. Try using one 3kgt caliper and one dsm caliper and find out what happens. Bias changes both times. Ideally you should change the propotioning valve also.

Id really like a 95 GSX, arent they vented discs calipers??? Most of them ive seen need rebuilding or infested with rust.

some 1995 rear discs are vented

Most of them ive seen need rebuilding or infested with rust.

1995 was 19 years ago, so you can expect anything used to need a rebuild and/or covered in a good amount of rust.
