1g brakes

[JokerJester]

will 1g brakes and lug hubs fit on a galant?
i have all sorts of 1g eclipses but no 2g's
i want to convert to the 5 lug
but no one has used the 1g hubs

you will need 2g spindles for this mod

what about the brakes and hubs from the 8g galant?
will they bolt on directly?

the 8g spindles will bolt on directly
but not the brakes

[JokerJester]

so does that mean that i can use 8g spindles
and 1g lug hubs, rotors and calipers?
or do i need to use 2g spindles with 1g hubs etc?

you keep your exisitng suspension knuckle.

you bolt in the 8g OR 2g spindle/ hub assembly(its the exact same thing different names)

you keep your stock calipers and brackets.
you will need not only 5 lug wheels. but also will need 5 lug brake rotors.
do a search.
this topic has been covered already.

or just buy a wreck 2g or 8g .. or 3g in that matter.. right?

i just threw out the 8g hub assembly compadability jsut to make parts ordering easier.

if you want to get junkyard parts,
then get the parts off of any 95-99 gs and up eclipse. preferable opne with rear disc.
then you can swap over the rear sway bar, rear discs, rear brakes, and all 4 hub assemblies with one kill.

what about front swaybar, stock eclispe bar same as stock galant? or are they nothing alike..

the gsx front swaybar is thicker than the 7g galant stock sway.
i believe its 19mm over the galants 18mm front.
its a cheap, and worthy upgrade. i think you can get a bar on ebay for around 40 bucks for the front one

but if you want more neutral handling, its in your best interest to swap in a new rear sway. like in peanotation's tutorial.

if you want an easy pair of upgrades that won't set you back much at all,
get a gsx front bar, and a pair of energy suspension bushings for the bigger bar.

or even just get a pair of energy suspension bushings for your front bar and thats it.
no doubt if you are on original bushings they are shot, brittle, and loose.

its an easy upgrade. and well worth it i'm sure.
