If you are running stock rotors factory is probably best. assuming the galant has the same or better brake composition as the lancer that is, ceramic pads. Aftermarket pads are mostly semi-metalic and will ruin the factory rotors. that has been my experience so far. I paid $40 extra for factory pads, rather than $100+ for new rotors. btw welcome aboard

my advice is not always best but these guys will let you know if I'm wrong. madmat38109.3376041667

Cheap pads will squeal ...if you use after market use a high quaility pad I believe Brembo are a good replacement pad for your Mitsu

at the dealership the only successful aftermarket pads and rotors were Brembo anything else caused the customers nothing but problems I don't know if they were bendex or wagners but they were what pepboys ,straussand corner shops used most of them were found to be trouble.

these are all stock cars galants, eclipse, Montero etc...
