I feel like re-itterating here that Stainless Steel lines will generally give you a much better performance upgrade than expensive pads.

I have yet to hear of an automotive platform that has "amazing" brake lines from the factory, and thus, SS lines will make a huge difference. Why else would Evo's and Audi's and WRX's, which all have pretty substantial brake systems, still need/want to upgrade to SS lines?

The reason is that SS lines if they were going to fail they sort of rupture,
and the OEM lines probably give a slow leak from mini cracks. So from a liability standpoint they would put rubber brake lines.

Alright, another lead. I do believe I was mistaken about the Evo brakes fitting, as someone else stated. Damn...

But! New research has uncovered that many of the 2009-2011 Eclipse brake kits share part numbers with the Oulander brake kits. There aren't a ton of upgrades for the Eclispe brake systems but there sure are more than the Outlanders are offered.

Anyone own an Outlander and an Eclipse?

out of curiosity, with those measurements, you'll be modifying a bracket to fit the brembo brakes? or making something completely from scratch ?
