Well, the 406 model to suit Lancer & EVO 2,3,4 is the right diametre at 276mm to suit GPX (not GR), but the stud pattern will be wrong - 114.3 x 4. FTO's are 5 stud - 114.3 x 5
Its just as east to order the equivalent through DBA ->

Of course the stud patterns matter - you cant put a disc rotor with 4 stud holes onto an axle with 5 studs...
The DBA 4000 series XS series are available for the FTO - scroll down the page to it.

If you are near Hobart...........
Autocraft supplied and fitted my DBA 4000 rotors along with some Ferodo DS2500 pads.
Made a heap of difference even though I was upgrading from EBC rotors and Greenstuffs.
I bedded them in driving from Hobart to Strahan and back.
Cheers

1 of my maes had the Ferdo pads on his Sylvia .... The pad snapped in half, and the car was not even driven hard... After that I have never used the pads...
This was on a n/a Sylvia mind due too ...
