    go ahead and do the 5 lug swap...
    you know you want too...
    think of all the big brake options you'll have..
    rotors...
    bear
    willwood

    and all the wheel options...
    the market is flooded with options for 2gen eclipse.

    how can you upgrade to big brakes safely? just my 2discs/2drums lock up if i press the brakes hard enough........bigger brakes would just lock sooner. it would help if i didn't have puny 17x7s.....but i'm already rubbing in the rear thanks to the sagging eibachs A:RLKJG:LKAYWEP$89uq2;3lk4j

    no, and that's probably why mine lock up. but if they're locking up all the time....that means the abs is doing it's job on your car....which means big brakes will just have to get let up even more....make sense?

    then again i could be completely missing something.....7" wide wheels are pretty slim IMO

    If you convert the front to 5 lug, you need the rotors and hubs from an eclipse gst or a gs

    word on the street is, if you wanna stay 4 lug you use all the eclipse parts minus the hubs. and you keep the 4 lug setup. then just by 94' GS rotors or 6G-VR4 rears and you good to go

    thistutorial is mainly for the rear drum to disk swap.
    I put (4 lug to 5 lug) in parenthesis, because while you're doing the brake swap you can (if you wanted to) do the 5 lug swap as well.

    if you chose to stay 4 lug, then yes, buy Rotors 4 lug rotors for a Galant , but i'm not sure what year is compatable.

    The only advantage (and MY main reason) of going 5 lug over 4 lug, is the after market support of the Eclipse. As my project gets more elaborate it'll be easier to find upgrade parts for 5 lug (eclipse) rather than try to find a manufacturer to make a part for 4 lug (Galant).

    there are other advantages, but again they only prove to be pertinent in extreme performance upgrade situations

    2. Rear Disk Backing Plate and emergency break system; The emergency break system has been referred to as "drum in disk" in other posts. If you buy all the parts brand new from the dealer, (like i did) then you'll have to put this system together. I've never done anything like this before, so it took me about an hour to assemble the first one, and then 25 min to do the second.

    ================================================== ================================================== =

    Ok, before I continue, in the chance that there are any of you reading this whom remember my more frequent presence a few years ago, hello and I am back to working on the G, as well as the GSX, so I might become a regular member once again =)

    I have a question to either Blue ice or who ever knows the answer to this question. What should I be searching for in the Rear Disk Backing Plate and emergency break system. I have done searches for Backing Plate, emergency brake system, dust shield, etc, and I am unable to come up with any good results. So, as I said before, what should I be searching for, and what is this system made up of? Thanks guys!

    some gs have the rear discs, but the brakes from gsx do no fit unless you get the spindles and the hubs too

    no, spindles are the same for all 7g. Hubs are the same too.

    Yes you can stay 4 lug and use 94 GS rear rotors.

    All you need is the backing plates, calipers+caliper bracket and lines.

    All 7Gs with rear disc are the exact same and the 2g eclipses use the same calipers.
