Pics and basic info to make the swap. Everything is bolt-on, no fabrication needed! Feel free to hit me up.

Thanks

---P.S. ---- I know I didn't shout out Galant in the "Roll Call", but it's not because I don't feel you. There's also a link to TGC in the body of the latest post.

depending on the donor car there IS fabrication needed for the E-brake line. mine was off a '99 V6. (and you use your own hubs, don't use the donor ones cause you experience vibrations while driving)

Run - Thanks for the update. I've been out of the loop for a bit. I had my Galant a LONG time ago too. So now we're even. I still love Mitsubishi, think G's are awesome, and I plan to get another one. I'll surf through the info pages. Know anything fresh and new? Are they bringing back the VR-4 yet?

not too sure they're gonna bring the vr-4 to the States :icon_sad:
i've seen a few around, but maybe those people either modded their version to look like it, or the car was imported.

Which ones can you use without having to any fabrication?

[run1206]

not sure, some sets vary. the mods, not that hard to do. drill out the hole where the E-Brake cable goes in, that's it.

I'm about to do this mod to my 98 Eclipse this weekend. The rear disc came off of a 95 GS. I can't wait to get it installed. Going to be a busy weekend. Getting new rims and getting the rear disc installed.
