Rotor/Brake Pad Compatibility

[cheeks]

Looking to replace the rear disc rotors and pads on my 1997 Legnum ST-R.

Does anyone know what US-imported cars shared the same brakes?

If I was to guess, an Eclipse of the same era would be as the rear suspension is all near identical.

Most parts places will have a lookup tool using dimensions, just measure the rotor.

You can use disc brakes australia to get size info then cross refrence that with similar model year mitsu's via rock auto.

These 2 images should help as far as sizes are concerned. Happy to send you the fronts if required.

I'd love a front brake reference picture, too. However, it seems, according to jdmftwyo, that the ST-R has different brakes than the one you posted (VR4 brakes)?

This is based off the assumption that the VR4 specs are similar to or same as the ST-R specs.

With the specs that you provided, looks like in the US, the 1995-2004 Eclipse, 1999 - 2003 Galant, 2005-2006 Outlander 2.4L & 2004-2006 Lancer Ralliart 2.4L share the same rear discs:

EDIT:
As @98leggy pointed out:
"stock part number crosses to the 2nd gen eclipse gsx and 300gt\g"

I definitely trust mitsubishipartswarehouse.com over allrotors.com, but I'll update this thread after buying a pair of rotors using the 2nd gen eclipse specs.

If it hasn't been done already, I would like to start a 'Compatible Parts' list for Legnum/Galant owners to show what other Mitsu models, both import and US, share compatible parts.

I ended up getting the rear discs from a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G63T AWD on rockauto.com (very reputable parts warehouse) and they fit perfectly, no issues.

So, it looks like @mezje was right. Thank you.
