Hello there,

I'm looking to upgrade the front discs and pads on my 7th generation Galant VR-4 (E84A).

The discs are four stud items.

Trouble is, I don't know the size of the discs in mm. Anyone ever done this before and know the answer?

Take care all.

They are the same as the early Evolutions 1-3

I have crossed and slotted DBA Gold rotors on mine and they are ment for early evo's :)

kite - because you're in england the best option is to go to camskill and buy their evo 1-3 discs as Goku said.

Thanks for your reponses, but...

Called a supplier, and have been told that for an Evo 1-3, there are two types of discs: 275mm & 294mm.

Which one is on the E84A?

Both, ones front ones rear :D

The rotors on the front are bigger ;)

Edmund: That website is weird..... there is no difference between left and right, only front and rear o.O

My E84A has 275 mm front discs., didn't know of any other size. (294mm is EC5A VR4's size)

Goku, left & right part #'s are JBR586L & JBR586R.

Thanks to all who have helped.

I've followed the links using the EBC international website to a company in Milton Keynes (not far from me) who specialise in performance braking. I explained that on the forum, people said the discs are from an evo 1-3.

The chap I spoke to was very helpful and informative and will change the front discs, put yellow stuff pads and change the brake fluid to dot 5 all for a reasonable price.

All of this is for a trip with some colleagues (Maserati 3200 GT, heavily modded MG-F & a Ford Focus 1.6) to the Nurburgring...
