#27262, "GTO Caliper Fitment?"




          

anybody know if the calipers from a mitsubishi GTO will fit our car?
engine code is 6g72 so its the same as the 3kgt. chassis code is z16a if that matters.

you will probably need special brackets to mount them on. Are they 2 or 4 piston?

they make brackets, intented to convert 3000GT non-turbo cars' brakes to the twin turbo cars' brakes. those same brackets can be used on DSMs to fit those calipers onto our car, so then you get absolutely gigantic brakes for not that much money. 12.5" rotors up front with really nice calipers I think the rears are 11.7" but I'm not sure.

I haven't been able to find the brackets again, but I do know they exit you will definitely need a certain kind of rim to fit those brakes, though, I think it was FlyinESi that said his HP Racing Evos wouldn't clear the calipers on his friend's Stealth RT.

there are guys on dsmtuners who got even bigger brakes on there... 13.1" with the same calipers! they made their own adaptor brackets though.

you realize hwo many people have tried this and failed?

it doesnt fit

a guy on neons.org was selling kits for awhile, but yea...you need custom mounting brackets to get the 3kgt vr-4 calipers to work on a 2g.

then you can make your own brackets and use even bigger brakes.

Not only the brackets you will have to get but also at least 8.5 wide rims (forgot the offset) for clearance for the caliper since that the VR4 rim width. For the neon guy I do not think you can go wider than 8" without doing some serious modifications. If we can use the 3KGT NT guys calipers and 3KGT NT can use the VR4 calipers besides the brackets how this setup would not work for u . Correct if I'm wrong on this?:
