I will order some front discs and pads from euro car parts(http://www.eurocarparts.com/). Shipping is TBD because they have to weigh the parts. Will post my thoughts after I receive and install replacements. cheers

It doesn't have Legnum but has Galant which is basically the same.

awsome, thanks for posting this

swapped the brakes today, and it was bitter sweet. The disks fit perfectly and swapping them was a breeze compared to the the accord and loyale.

Shiny new disks


The pads I ordered from pagid however did not match the ones I have. Euro spec Galants must have a different calliper setup, and thus larger pads. Already phoned lordco to order in Galant pads from 92 I think. I have heard from a member in Club VR4 those would work. fingers crossed. Old ones still have lots of life left, so no big rush.

Nice looking rotors, did the new pads work out for you?
Does this mean the turbo and non-turbo model use different pads and rotors?

[wolfd89]

Yes, the new rotors and pads work amazing. next I plan on replacing the rear brakes as well. I think what happened to the old ones is the hills in loops are so steep, if you brake excessively and stop, you deform the rotors where the pads meet if you don't inch forward every few seconds.

As you can see in the picture, the vehicle has a 4 bolt pattern, 4X114 to be precise. The Vr-4 models are 5 bolt, and thus the disks, and I suspect callipers and pads as well do not match up. Greg mentioned he was able to use later model eclipse components as replacements. I used an early 90's Galant and everything worked flawlessly.
