Welcome. I can't answer your question. I've read something about Galant brakes, but since it doesn't apply to the BG I didn't really pay attention.

none to hand the body works not the best mind i bought it to take the engine, gear box, 4 pots all round, bilstein suspension, motec ecu and custom harness. im unsure about the cage as i dont want to modify the interior i have got the engine build reciepts and build information and dyno sheet. when i start swapping things over il put the pics up as the car is in a family members garage a long way from where i am

I can't tell from the pic if you are looking for brakes for a bf or a bg car. If it's a bg, is it 4 or 5 lug? GTR? Or what? Upgrading a BF car to the galant/vr4 is easy and cheap. Upgrading GTR isn't. All I've found for GTR 4pots involve scary redrills or brackets or both and I don't feel like playing that game with my brakes. I'm doing just fine with Porterfield pads, so far.'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
'90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

I'm not even sure the gt4 swap works in a bf, less space between the framerails. It is a *huge* pain in the ass to do and would be more worth it if there was a front LSD option but there isn't without a dangerous amount of machine work to install an MR2 unit in there, weakening the crap outta the housing to make it fit. I'm happy with it now that it's done but woulda sold the car and picked up a nice simple gp5 car if I'da known ahead of time what I was getting into.'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
