Hey guys, i'm new to the forum but have had my avenger for a few months now.  the breaks suck bad so I want to put disks on the back, and upgrade the fronts.

I read on some site that you could use any 95-99 non turbo eclipse breaks for front and back... anyone done this?  Given the choices what are the best? like are 99 ones better or cheaper than 95 ones or are they the exact same?  Anyone know the diameter of the rotors?

I seen somewhere too that you could use mitsu 3000GT breaks with a bracket to get bigger diameter without ordering the $550 big break upgrade.  The stock fronts i think are 9.1" and I want at least 10" breaks ... 12" would be nice but I don't want to spend $1500 to get 13" breaks... my car is just a street machine, not a pure bred racer.  I think I seen the eclipse ones were 10.1" witch would be perfect.  I need slotted or X-drilled rotors too.

Are the eclipse calipers 2 piston stock?  If not are 2 piston ones available?  again the 4 pistons ones are not required for my usage.  The avenger ones I believe are only 1 piston... anyone verify?

Any help at all thanks.

Silverblur and I are about to upgrade the fronts on his Avenger.  We are using 96 stealth parts for it.  I am going to take pictures, document everything and then do a writeup on my website.  If you can wait a couple of weeks, we will have very good detailed instructions including part #'s and the like.  Would probably do it sooner but we are waiting for his rotors to come in.

werd its a very easy thing to do, just a direct swap. No modifications needed.


as for the rears i would not be to worried about them, its not going to give you that better breaking then what the drums do. And after looking at what needs to be done to swap i decided not to. The emergency break cable goes under the car and comes up right under the exhaust.
So in order to remove that you would have to remove part of the exhaust.
