i have everything i need apart from the mounting brackets and hand brake cables, that means hubs discs, calipers etc yes it might not be an exact fit, obviously, they are two different cars, so yes there will have to be some customising done, what else is new. the only thing i have ever found that i have put on this car that didnt need customising was the mitsu remote central locking that was designed for the car!

what do you mean? the brakes are the same apart from stud pattern on hubs why would you want to change to something you already have?

brakes are totally different on the lancer the discs on the front are absolutely tiny, and only single piston calipers, where the back brakes are only drum brakes

ah didnt realise you must have glxi model?
The GR FTO brakes are only single piston callipers to but think disc is same size as GPX however they all have disc rears.......
I got to ask why the brakes? what are you doing to the motor for required upgrade?

droping in a 6A12 mivec, currently rebuilding with forged internals, some head work and finally turbo

Sounds interesting let us know how you get on with turboing the mivec will be interesting if succesful and reliable
