    Did you put them on the correct sides this time dumbass?

    How did you even figure they'd even have a remote chance of fitting?

    If you want dual piston calipers just buy them for a 8G V6 Galant.

    you think? ill take a pic of the caliper if anyone wants it looks like a regular calper and itll fit, but the bracket dont fit my car, im totally pissed, i donno what bracket to really use its like a 3000gt caliper, the hose connect at a angle not straight on

    i need help asap, ive used way to much brake fluid in trying to do this front brakes, if i gotta fill it up 2 more time im gonna be ticked for sure, i dont wanna end up buying an 3rd huge bottle of brake fluid when i only needed 1 for the full thing maby 2, but 3 is just being a waste, ill show pics soon

    It sounds like you should have done abit more research before tackling this project. Brakes are nothing to mess around with and you should definetly consult someone that has more experience than this.

    Well whatever you do... don't drill any holes... and try swapping the brackets around, if that doesn't work, I'll give you mine from the 3000gt

    div measure across the bolt holes on your bracket.

    they wont fit. I've posted this many times. diamante ones are the same size as 2g GSX ones. the holes on the brackets are closer. You need the brackets from a 00 3g v6, or a 99 8g v6. only those brackets will fit.
