Finally I got it done! After two months driving with two donuts in the trunk, I swapped the front end too. Here are the pictures - what you see is 5 lug swap with dual piston calipers, KYB GR-2 shocks and stock Eclipse wheel /cable ties are just temporary untill I find some better to keep the brake line attached to the spindle/

10x guys. these came from 95 diamante, and i can say its a hell of a difference. they need a little more presure on the pedal which makes the rear ones grab more the before

nice work, i will tell you it is so much easier to buy wheels and bigger brakes when you have 5 lugs!

are you running stainless lines yet?

what brake fluid are you using?
did you completely flush out yoru brake system with fresh dot 5.1?

if not, you still haven't expierienced what these brakes can do.

No actually I havent done that yet. I ran out of cash for stainless steel lines. My way was pretty gheto - I put together two rear eclipse brake lines and it worked. Can you guys give me a link to where I can get the SS lines pls.
