Those are correct. The only difference is the Galant came with 2-piston calipers stock, so you will need appropriate pads.

Quoting rgeier11:

So did 93-99 AWD DSMs. The 90-92 AWDs, all year GST/TSIs, and of course the NT all came with single piston calipers. There is also a difference in rotor size too between the single piston and two piston brakes. The rotors for the 2 POTs are bigger, but the OP should be good to go if he got the rotors specifically for that year GSX.

Thanks for the replies guys. I bought my car with the five lug already and wasn't sure what replacement rotors to buy but, I test fitted them last night and they fit fine. I got all four rebuilt calipers all four oem replacement rotors and new pads now all I need is some free time to put it all together. What do you guys think of red calipers the old ones are red but are all rusty and dirty and still don't look bad. I'm either going red or cast gray.
Thank you,
Mario
 

^How about cast gray? No point making a stock part stand out. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
