>Hey Mcubed, do u have to replace the calipers too with the AEM
>or was that just what u wanted?

no you do not. if you notice, there are two separate kits they sell for the front discs of the 2G eclipse. the FWD and the AWD. the FWD version is still a big brake kit. it upgrades the stock rotors size on the RS/GS/GST from the stock 10" to 11.75" with the AEM rotors. the AWD kit upgrades the GSX rotors from 10.75" to 12.5". in order to use the AWD kit you NEED GSX calipers. you don't need GSX rotors b/c you'll be replacing them with the AEM rotors. if you want to keep your stock RS/GS/GST single piston calipers you can still buy the AEM rotors. i believe if you get the AEM FWD kit you can get buy with 16" rims rather than 17" as with the AWD kit.

anymore questions - hit me up. i'm really happy with my upgrade. wish i hadn't bought the calipers from RRE but i was in a rush being that my brakes were at the point where i didn't want to drive my car. haven't had any problems and it's been more than 6 months. damn they look nice! (sorry no pics) they really fill up my rims. the only thing that sucks is that when i wash my car i need to clean as much of the rim as i can and then roll the car foward about a foot so i can get the rest of the rim that was blocked by the caliper. it's a pretty snug fit with 17's...

oh and for the question about the hub, if you get larger rotors (even if you keep your stock calipers) you will need the trim the dust shield a bit so it doesn't rub the larger rotor. not a big deal.
