98 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX - Brembo Swap

[Mitsubishiown]

Alright guys I just recently bought a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX Automatic with 83,000 miles on it. I have evo 8 brembo calipers/rotors/pads and all those goodies. I am wanting to put them on and I am having a hard time finding the right information. Will this package in the link posted below give me all the SS Lines for this car that I need to bolt right up?

Also I would like to not hack away my knuckle or my brembos so I want to go with the JDM Knuckles is there a link to where I can get both JDM Knuckles.

Lastly my Eclipse is Red and I need to get some new wheels that will fit the brembos what do you guys recommend? I need to get 18" wheels because I just bought four new tires for 18" wheels and would like to put them on. Thank you a ton!

Get them new or used and from where?

Also where can I get a JDM Galant Knuckle?

You guys know if i need to get new jdm galant knuckles to do a brembo brake swap on a 1996 2ga? I heard that the brembo calipers will just fit right up with the stock knuckles no problemo. Is this true?

 

[Mitsubishiown]

I am pretty sure you need the KMV Bracket thing. Maybe or maybe thats for the 2gb!

Also guys I am not sure if my GSX has abs but if it does what do I do when I get a JDM Knuckle do I need to get a certain one?

wrong info whoever told you that is smoking leeroy jenkim.

as for op.. cost wise brackets will be your best bet. you grind the calipers down and in away that will never be seen unless you look directly behind the caliper.
sell your 18 get 17 off an evo9 call it a day.

Thanks man! I would rather go with the JDM Galant Knuckle if I can get them for around $500 unless it screws up my abs. I also think I need to stick with the 18s because I just spent $550 on tires.

hmm thanks for the input. im just worried that after i do a big brake upgrade, Im gonna have to dump some more money into fitting a large brake booster.

i was also looking to get the 17s bbs from the evo9. sick rims

You can probably snag a 3g brake booster for 20bucks from Club3G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 3G Forums and same for the braking master cylinder or whatever

He can get JDM knuckles with ABS sensors... I paid $515 shipped for both knuckles and sensors.

You might be confused with the rear Brembo Brakes.
The rear evo brembos will bolt on to a 2g with out any mod, But in front, you definitely need the JDM knuckles for the front evo brembos.

Or the KMV brackets.

Thanks everyone!! Totally off topic to this swap but where can I get a big 3 upgrade my alternator or battery or something is screwing up and I don't know if its a short somewhere so I am replacing everything! Battery, alternator, wires, and maybe my starter not sure yet possibly my fuseable-link.

Or the KMV brackets.

So with the KMV brackets I can avoid having to find the galant knuckles correct?

 

[95DSMGSX]

well with the brackets your going to have to shave down and modify some of the caliper. And if the 2ga rear calipers will bolt right on does that mean i have to keep my 2ga stock rotors? or will the evo rotors fit?
