Dan Gill at allmitsubishi.com Rear brake hardware $250. Instructions and a phone number are on the main page under mods. You will most likely need new rotors and pads. I used it as an excuse to upgrade to KVR cross-drilled rotors, and Carbon Fiber pads

The kit does come with used rotors. I suggest turning the rotors and buying new pads. The kit is everything you need to swap over to rear disc brakes. These are used parts from allmitsubishi.com which are in excellent condition. The price of $250 includes shipping. If you want new parts, contact your mitsu dealer and be prepared for a royal screwing...LOL

They should all be the same. But a safe bet is GS or GS-T.

Rear discs are listed the same for all models. Deano can you back me up on this or an I wrong. But everyplace I've looked has the same part numbers listed with the same size rotors.

Front AWD calipers can be used with an adapter bracket, Skrilla got them form RRE if i remember right.

Quad caliper VR4 brakes won't fit.
