For the 2G Big Brake Upgrade, you will need the calipers, brackets (very important!!! They will not fit without them), pads, and brake pad shims. The 2G FWD brake lines will fit so it is up to you if you want to upgrade to stainless steel lines.

I am interested in doing the upgrade but wanted to clarify something. SOmeone here before had told me that the fittings on the lines for the GSX use a different end than the NT. What I would like to know is a definitive answer to this, preferably from someone who has done it.

BurtonBoy, on the Big Brake FAQ it states that the 2G AWD and 2G FWD uses different brake lines; however, I contacted Norco Mitsubishi, and they told me that all 2Gs have the same brake lines. Furthermore, I did the big brake upgrade, and I did not change my stock brake lines. The 2G AWD brake calipers will fit our stock 2G FWD brake lines. You do not need to change them unless they are worn out or unless you want stainless steel ones. On the bracket topic, you NEED the bracket off the 2G AWD in order to fit the dual piston calipers. Good luck.

I suggest new pads. You're changing everything else do this to. Since you're not upgrading rotor size then you don't need any bracket just the caliper, rotors and pads.
