Brake Upgrade Information V2.0
Good job on finding 2 pot calipers from an outlander.
I spent months and could never source any. I ended up finding a used set of Legnum pre facelift brackets with FTO calipers. Using Outlander 5 stud Rotors, works like a treat!

Here in Greece outlander was a very popular model so we have plenty of them on junkyards
You probably got the 294mm bracket from outlander (4319). Make sure you have the correct size rotors or this could happen.
I have a 2001 MR that is a dedicated track/race car. Typical brake upgrades are in the plans and i am just wanting to clarify that i am under the right impression before chasing parts. Will FTO 2 Pot Calipers bolt straight onto a CE Lancer? Is it the same 130mm bolt spacing? Trying to stray away from changing the pcd. Of course then finding suitable rotors, which i will get redrilled to 4x100.
276mm magna rotors redrilled with a hubcentric ring. The two pot magna calipers are the same and a lot more available. You can use mini rotors but they are thinner than the magna ones. I use the magna stuff with ferodo 2500 brake pads and it's more than adequate for track duties.
Hey guys,
I'm just hoping to get confirmation on a couple of things before I track down a proton front brake upgrade for my mirage (going to try source jumbuck front brakes). I'm asking as I need to buy everything online, and I want to make sure I get everything I need before I begin:
1. From what I understand from the spreadsheet front arms stay stock, I just need to get the calliper brackets and brake callipers from the jumbuck. (Brake discs and pads I'll get brand new). Is that right?
2. For brake lines, I'm assuming the stock mirage ones will work seeing the connection type it the same between stock and the proton ones.
3. For the dust shields, I'm assuming the stock mirage ones won't work any more due to the proton discs being larger. Can I use the dust shields from the donor proton? I'm assuming yes, but just want to check (or see what people normally do regarding the dust shields).
4. For the brake lines, I've seen that HEL do a braided kit for the CE lancer (https://au.helperformance.com/mitus...-2003-brake-lines-hel-stainless-steel-braided). I'm assuming this works for the mirage too, and will be compatible with the proton brakes?
Sorry to ask so many noob questions that are probably already explained in the spreadsheet, but I just want to make sure 100% that I'm getting everything I need, and everything is correct, as it'll set me back weeks if I need to replace anything becuase I've messed up and not gotten the right parts/am missing something.
Thanks.

I've previously run satria GTi stuff which is all the same I believe.
1. Yes. Straight bolt on of the calipers and brackets to all the stock CE front suspension. Disks and pads I'd personally source new as well, but I spose on a budget if theyre in decent shape you could run the wreckers stuff.
2. Yes. I got that exact HEL kit referenced in number 4, im still running it on larger again calipers.
3. I trimmed the lip and bent the dust shields up, essentially making it a flat plate behind the disks for the satria setup, ive since deleted it for the larger 276mm setup I now run (Check your local regs regarding deleting them before doing so, my cars unregistered and track only so its not an issue for me)
