Hardware Kit to Install 3000GT-VR4/Cobra Front Big Brakes: DSM/EVO 1-3/Galant

This is the kit you need to install the Steath/3000GT VR4 4-piston calipers and 330mm (13") Ford Mustang Cobra rotors on your DSM or EVO 1-3.

Hardware kit includes:

• your choice of caliper mounting brackets (available for two different styles of VR4 calipers)
• supply of mounting hardware
• two pairs of hubcentric rings required to properly mount Cobra rotors

The caliper mounting brackets are available in two different styles.  One for use with 1st generation VR4 calipers (which are from 1991-93 model year Mitsu 3000GT VR4) and one for use with 2nd generation VR4 calipers (which are from 1994-99 model year Mitsu 3000GT VR4).  If you are unsure of which generation VR4 calipers you have, please refer to the "NOTES" below.

We should point out that these caliper mounting brackets are very strong units: they're made from 1/2" thick STEEL (NOT aluminium) and are extremely strong. The bolts used are 12mm and grade 10.9. These are NOT weak, flimsy components, they are strong and robust. In fact, we'd wager that under the most extreme braking conditions, the "spokes" on your aluminium rims would shear away from the outer portion of the rim, or perhaps the caliper itself would disintegrate long before these brackets failed!

NOTES on 1st Gen/2nd Gen VR4 CALIPERS:
The easiest way to distinguish 1st gen & 2nd gen VR4 calipers is from the diameter of their respective rotors--1st gen VR4 rotors are 11.6" and 2nd gen VR4 rotors are 12.4". Another way of distinguishing VR4 calipers is by the length of the mounting ears. Use this procedure: remove any pads, clips or pins that protrude above the top of the caliper. Lay the caliper upside down on a flat surface and measure the distance from the flat surface to the centre of the mounting holes (on the mounting ears). For 1st gen calipers the distance is about 3.75" and for 2nd gen it's a bit less than 4.125".  For reference, in our "view detailed images" link, we have a photo of the two generations of VR4 calipers side by side.

In the drop-downs below, when we prompt for "caliper style" and the choices are "1st gen (1991-93) VR4 calipers" and "2nd gen (1994-99) VR4 calipers" these are referring to the VR4 CALIPERS you plan on using NOT THE MODEL YEAR OF YOUR VEHICLE.

NOTE: These brackets are designed to be used with 330mm Ford Cobra rotors and NO OTHER ROTORS (including VR4 ROTORS!). 

NOTE: Photo is for display purposes and depicts hardware kit for use with 1st gen VR4 calipers. 

Applications:
DSM (1990-99).
EVO (I-III).
Galant (1988-97).
