I know I do not have a VR4, I recently did the 5 Lug Swap on my Galant GS FWD. It was pretty straightforward, everything was bolt on. For the front I used a 92 GSX Spindle/hub with the smaller rotors. For braking on the front I used VR4 Dual piston/Calipers., They bolted right up to the GSX spindles. Now my question is, What front brake rotors should I be using? and should I have taken the proportioning valve from the VR4 I got the Dual Piston calipers from? Thanks.

Rotors form a 92.5-94 eclipse turbo FWD GST or AWD GSX. The parts store would specify this when you went to get them. Theyd ask if it has this rotor, or that rotor. Best to start out with saying it is for a 94 with the big brakes, and ask them what size they have themn listed as.

ok.

So 94 AWD DSM Had the bigger rotor size? Im currently using the 92 small rotors and it looks like some of the VR4 brake pad doesnt fully cover the smaller rotor.

Thanks for the info
