Just realised I'm also missing all 4 caliper bolts and the two clips that hold the handbrake on to the caliper on one side as well if anyone knows where I can get these from, either wreckers or new? Searching for proton stuff online gives pretty much no results, would the GSR brakes be the same slide pin + clips?
Yeah you're right but unfortunately for me there was only one proton with rear discs at the wreckers and someone had already unbolted the calipers to take the rotors (lol) and they'd been hanging by the handbrake cables for who knows how long. I'm gonna go back today and have another look. I'm thinking the clips and bolts I'm missing will be fairly generic and interchangeable anyway, from what I've read the rear proton caliper is the same as the GSR one.For fronts yes, rears I don't know. Easier to take the whole trailing arm instead of bits n pieces.
Currently upgrading CE Lancer 2001 with Magna TS front rotors and callipers.
After doing some searching cannot find the answer to the issue I have.
Have had the TS discs drilled to 4*100.
The callipers bolt on to existing holes, but then cannot fit the larger 276 dia Magna Discs in place. Either a bracket required to move the callipers further out or?
What else needs to be done, to fit the TS front disc brakes to the CE lancer?
Thanks
John
Thanks for the feedback, my problem is attaching TS callipers to CE front end.Ive had that set up and had no problems
Thanks for the feedback, my problem is attaching TS callipers to CE front end.
The TS callipers bolt to existing holes of CE front, however when the 276 mm disc is on cannot fit callipers on, as callipers need to be further out. Or am I missing something
Anyone have a photo of their successful TS front brakes into CE Lancer installation?
Regards
Calipers are cheaper than rotors and you already have the redrilled Magna rotors. Go get some FTO/TS Magna calipers and do the better upgrade.Just a question, did you buy the Calipers and rotors from the same car or purchased separately? The TS magna also came with a 256mm setup on the 4 cylinder model, possibility you've got the wrong TS magna calipers and they're only for 256mm discs.
Bingo, yes that would be it, didn't check that the callipers would be from a 4 cyl. Bought from different sources
Bother, looks like we now have 2 options.
1: Get the correct TS 6cyl callipers or
2: get the TS 4cyl discs (drilled 4*100), or maybe the Proton discs sized at 256
Thanks again
