One of the most essential mods i think for any car is the stopping power, the brakes. Even experts say if you are looking to upgrade your braking system, and it so happens your type of car has a regular model and a sports model, because all the components are more or less the same, its real easy to fit sports model brakes to your current model. In this essence for the FTO, it is very different though. Owning the GPX is already the top spec trim from Mitsubishi, so what other choices do we have for improving braking???well.....
Option 1: Purchase better branded/aftermarket parts
- brake discs
- brake pads
- brake calipers
- brake hoses
Common Choices for the FTO:
- EBC
- Mintex
- Ferodo
Option 2: Customised brake conversion (popular choices)
- GTO Big Brake Conversion.
- Wilwood Big Brake Conversion.
- Brembo Big Brake Conversion.
- AP Racing Big Brake Conversion
- Some have used Aston Martin Brake Calipers
For me it was the Mitsubishi GTO Big Brake Conversion.

Also to compliment the front GTO brakes, i got matching brake discs for the rears. drilled and grooved ^_^. These will soon get a revamp though as i don't really like the colours.
Oh and yes my old drop links were worn, so i decided to change them for aftermarket whiteline flex ones ^_^.
