    PRAISE GOD YEAH I'll take them!! (left a visitor message)
    These are fronts correct? Just spent the last hour or so reading up on 5-lug rear discs, so I'm a tad cornfused.
    And these are for 3000GT rotors? I just guess that the front rotors are different from the SL 3000gt versus the VR4.?
    Red.. Those should look nice peaking through the Conquest rims.

    So I PM'd all the info to you, but for the other readers here - I'll make this clear.

    The 2 piston Montero Sport calipers (as we are talking about) will fit if you machine both the rotor and the caliper to clear the thicker rotor. Spacing will also have to be solved for the change in offset of the rotor. The 3KGT VR4 rotor is thicker than the Montero Sport rotor, but is the same OD of 314mm. All this is explained on post #10 and #27. Since mine (and yours) are 5 lug swap, this is all we can confirm at this time.

    I don't have much info on the rear disc since I simply narrowed a Ford 8.8 which is equipped with 285mm rear discs. Any other axle/brake combo would require me to engineer something, so I'm not much help on the info.

    There are 3 rotor options for the 3000GT.
    1 - non-VR4 276mm front rotors
    2 - 1991-993 VR4 296mm front rotors
    3 - 1994+ VR4 314mm front rotors

    If you use the Montero Sport 276mm 2 piston calipers
    , you will need a rotor from any Galant, some Eclipse, Diamante, 3000GT (non-VR4), and a dozen other Mitsu cars that use a 276mm rotor (there are dozens).

    If you use Montero Sport 314mm 2 piston calipers, you will need a rotor from the 1994+ 3000GT VR4. You will also need to machine the rotor and caliper down to clear as stated in Post #10 and #27.

    EITHER size will require you to machine the center bore to 86.1mm so you can adapt to the Toyota front hub. Again, this is all for 5 lug swaps only. It will NOT work with a 6 lug Mighty Max hub because the rotor offsets are too high (they will hit the spindle). You can also use 3000GT VR4 4 piston calipers and machine your own brackets (that's what I did - post #'s 100, 104, 119, 126 have info and pics).

    So now that is all explained - here are some page 11 pics!

    Since my RHD swap was finished, I havent washed the truck. There has been little to no time to do it. Since I was tired of looking at all the dirt and grease buildup, I decided washing it even at night would net a result that looked better even if I missed a few spots.

    The next morning revealed a damn good job for washing at night. I couldn't even find one spot I needed to go back over....

    But the next day... It rained. Now my truck is all dirty again...

    I'm going to check the weather reports from now on....
