I was wondering if anyone or even if its possible to swap out the front rotors and calipers from a 3000gt to fit our cars?

Yeah, but they need to be the GT, not the VR4. The VR4 brakes are _huge_, and require a new hub or something to fit an Eclipse (apparently it has been done - but haven't seen any details on it). These brakes would be awesome, first of all since they are so big, and the calipers look awesome especially with the raised 'Mitsubishi' on them:



I WANT these, but my full AEM FWD upgrade will do for now...

I would like to see how the AEM turned out. I had to have a stock size rotor to stay in the Street Touring Class. I would also like to hear how the AEM pads with their larger 2-piece rotors hold up to brake fade.
