    Rear Drum to Disc Conversion - '99 DE

    New Blog Posts!!! http://www.rebirthgarage.wordpress.com

    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
    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?

    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.
