    '96 Stealth RT/TT calipers on '97 VR4. Are they a direct fit?

    Greetings,

    Been enjoying my '97 VR4 for 18 years; still running strong. The front caliper pistons are stuck and can't push them back to replace the pads. I've been having a hard time finding calipers and can't really wait 2-3wks for the calipers to be rebuilt. On ebay, I saw '96 Stealth RT/TT calipers for sale. I'd like to find out if these are direct fits on the '97 VR4

    The Stealth RT/TT calipers are the Cardone 18-4674/5. The VR4 equivalents are the 19-1934/5

    Thank you!

    They're almost identical. You'll lose the "MITSUBISHI" text by switching to the Stealth calipers, but that's it. Functionally the same

    Thank you for the pointer. I've sent a PM to DrGonzo (hopefully this is the person you mentioned)

    Oh well, he sold the last pair about a week ago. But looks like there are quite a few available on the inter tubes. Gonna place an order today. Thank you so much for all the help!
