Swapping to smaller brakes

I will be swapping to smaller brakes and I was hoping someone on here knows what I get the brakes and rotors from to make the swap. If no one else knows, once I find out I will post it up for everyone else. Im pretty sure they are from a 2000ish Galant. Let me know if anyone knows for sure.

The JDM RS's run smaller brakes which works out great cos you can go rallying on 15" wheels (which, I suspect, is why you're doing this). Can Mitsu in the US not get these from Japan? I would have thought there's a part number somewhere.

I have access to second-hand ones, but by the time they go from me to you, you can probably get a new one for roughly the same price.

Good deal. Ill go find out how much it will cost to swap over to something like the GSK brakes. And yes, I need better rubber to get traction on launches... stupid car can barely pull 1.7s off the line spinning very hard.

I believe that there are some rally 16in wheels that will clear stock 4 pistons on the front, that will let you run with 16in tires.
