the fronts are rears are different so no not all 4 no reason to get new calipers clean them and paint them
or if you want bigger better calipers upgrade to the gsx front calipers but you will need new bigger gsx rotors to make them fit but its a bolt on job. easy
use the search lots info here dont be lazy and have us do all the work.

We will build you bigger and stronger

cool man, i was looking around in the site and found the article about the f1 rotors, and i saw some drilled rotors both rear and front came in a package for around $175, is this a rip of or are these things good, and the real question, will my stock calipers work with these rotors???, im asuming as long as they are not oversized they should work right? and who sells some good and kinda well priced calipers that will fit the rotors above?

im new to the brake world so sorry for all the anoying questions!

thanks

both front and rear cross-drilled for 175? emoji
i would find out what company they get there blank rotors from, because for that price they must drill them inhouse.
good cross drilled pattern takes a bit of enginering and research, not just a monkey with a drill press.
if you drill it wrong it will actually weaken the rotor and under high stress "spirited" braking, or racing situations cause it to chip, crack or (worse case) chunk off and cause an "Uncontained Dissasembly" of your brakes possibly taking your caliper and hub with it. most companies are ok, ebay rotors suck

look for Brembo, AP/Lockheed, ATE, or Girling blanks if your going with a aftermarket drilled rotor. these will be in the 175 a pair range your looking at. these would be fine for a daily driver in the non-GTX/SL caliper size.
if you step up to the GTX/SL caliper and intend to push your brakes, look into a BRANDED set of Sloted rotors. you can easily pay 200-300 a PAIR for these rotors, there are cheaper outlets nut just make sure they are from a reputable place that will back up their rotor as being "authentic"
i pissed off a local speed shop in town when i paid Brembo prices for my slotted rotors and got knockoffs. its fun to call the manufacturer and ask if they are genuine and hear them say "nope those are Blank rotors"

thanks man, u are the only one that has actually helped me with a real answer.

i started researching the brands that u told me, but the only one i can really find products for is Brembo, and they only have drilled rotors not drilled and slotted.

i was looking around and came up with this, could u please scroll down and look at the Power stop rotors and tell me what u think?

here is the link

http://www.topbrakes.com/order.cfm?page=searchresults&cYear=1999&cmaket=MITSUBISHI&cmodel=ECLIPSE%202WD&cnotes=w/rear%20disc

is that a good price for the front rotors, and why are the rear ones more expensive, is it because they are smaller and require more carefullness??

thanks man

power stop are a good brand and fairly popular.
i know that SP performance slots / drills there rotors in house but they do use Brembo blanks and there fairly respected as well.

the rear are usually more expensive because they are a smaller space to correctly slot / drill plus they have to fit over the ebrake set up as well.
