Yes, but you will have to swap the ends or install it backwards for the fronts. The rears should bolt right in. In the VR4 that is....

I think the GS has a different bolt pattern for the strut top which means that the GVR-4 and/or TEL strut tower bars may not fit. If you decide to try it definitely get one of the cheap ebay ones and then it won't be a huge loss if it doesn't work out. I got mine for less than $20 shipped...
 

Ohhh well I made my car GS! But it was a 1991 galant ls! so i hope it fits! I went to wikipedia and the 6g galant is 66.7 inches wide and so the 1g eclipse! so if it doesnt fits ill develop a proyect to fit it in!

ALL E30a series galants have the same strut towers up front. the only issue is what is in the way between the towers.

Of the four holes, any with power steering use the rear three, and if its manual steering from the factory the top mount is flicked round and uses the front three. a different rake angle (i'll look it up and post that)
