Have you done any mods on the front suspention? This doesn't look like a 2000 (8th gen) galant to me, as they have 4-bolt hubs and this one seems to have mcpherson struts instead of the dual wishbone....

@nils001 No I have not the suspension is stock, but you must remember it is stock for the USDM version of the galant. the suspension set up may be different on a foreign version. I would go to the galant Wikipedia page and look up the 8g it explains the USDM difference. and all 8g and 3 g eclipses are 5 bolt, I think the 7g is 4 bolt. all of the 1999 + Mitsubishis are 5 bolt

@dcitmf Thanks! I never thought the USDM had a different suspention setup. Did a little research and I don't know if i should envy you or feel sorry.. lol USDM appear to have bigger rotors and most likely better brakeing, but the JDM has the dual wishbone (from the 7G) wich is sweet.. lol

@nils001 Yea from US perspective I think they felt that the car could be watered down performance wise and increase the safety issues so maybe that why brakes are bigger. But the JDM's are always better. better styling, more aggressive performance, and more options. but Ill take what I can get.

@danielzee40 yea sorry about that this was the first video I made in imovie so I didn't know I could lower the soundtrack.

@dcitmf : Over here the brakes have a bad rep (warping under heavy abuse) still they do get the job done. My 4g63 took 4 + luggage up the autobahn over 130mph, performance wise i aint complaining. They're great cars and i love the handling and reliability.
