Brake system work should always be carried out by qualified individuals. If you are not completely confident of your skill in this area, have someone who is do the installation or assist you with the installation. Revolution Brake LLC accepts no responsibility for the consequences of improperly installed brake components. Your life depends on your brakes, be careful.
Installation: Jack up the front of the vehicle and secure with jack stands. Refer to the shop manual and remove front wheels, calipers, rotors and flex hoses. These brake parts will not be reused. After disconnection of the flex hoses from the chassis hard lines, it is a good idea to plug the hard lines to prevent excessive brake fluid loss and entry of air into the system. Small (3/16″ diameter) rubber or soft plastic plugs are usually available from your local automotive parts store and work well.

Most 17” wheels will clear the outer diameter of the caliper of the Eclipse Big Brake Kit. However, the more critical clearance is the gap between the spokes of the wheel and the face of the caliper. Do not assume a 19, 20 or even 24 inch wheel will clear the face of the caliper. The actual metal-to-metal distance measured from the stock rotor face to the inside of the wheel spokes metal distance measured from the stock rotor face to the inside of the wheel spokes is 60.27 mm for the 328mm Eclipse Gen 1 & 2 kit.
