Do the Endless Brake Pads for D22A cars on this listing fit every 1990 GS Turbo?

No. Endless splits the 1990 front-drive turbo by build date. Cars built up to March 1989 take EP180 at the front, as on this listing, and cars built from April 1989 take EP243, sold with the same EP100 rear on the listing for later GS Turbo cars. Check the build month before ordering these Endless Brake Pads for D22A cars.

Where do I find the build date on a 1990 Eclipse?

On the certification label at the driver door, which shows the month and year the car was built. A date of March 1989 or earlier means the car takes the EP180 front shape on this listing, and April 1989 or later means EP243. If the label is missing or unreadable, contact Bulletproof Automotive before ordering.

Which Endless compound suits a GS Turbo on track?

MX72 for occasional track days, since Endless designs it for a road car that sees the circuit now and then, with a rotor range of 50 to 700C, or 122 to 1292F. A GS Turbo on track most months moves to CC-Rg, rated to 800C, or 1472F, with high bite even when cold, though Endless notes it is noisy on the street.

Is MX72 Plus available for this car?

No. Endless does not price MX72 Plus or MA45B for the EP180 and EP100 shapes, so the street range for this car is SSS, SSM Plus, MX72 and CC-Rg. MX72 covers road driving with a few track days a year, and CC-Rg covers a car that runs on track regularly.

Is there a discount for buying front and rear together?

No. Endless has no combo price for EP180 with EP100, so the Front and Rear Set costs the same as a Front set plus a Rear set in every compound. Ordering both axles in one compound still gives matched friction at each end, which is what we would suggest for a car that is driven hard.

Endless Brake Pads for D22A Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Turbo Built to March 1989

Endless’s Brake Pads for D22A Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Turbo Built to March 1989 are for the earliest front-drive turbo Eclipses, 1990 model-year cars built by Diamond-Star Motors before April 1989. Those cars carry a different front brake from the one fitted from April 1989 onward, and Endless gives them a front shape of their own, EP180, a pad it also lists for the 1989 Galant, paired with the EP100 rear used on later first-generation GS Turbo cars. For a GS Turbo driven hard on the road with the occasional track day, MX72 is the compound we would choose.

Features

Endless pad shapes EP180 front and EP100 rear for the 1990 GS Turbo built to March 1989
Four street and street-to-track compounds: SSS, SSM Plus, MX72 and CC-Rg
Racing compounds sold as two options, the eight-compound Racing Group and the W003 Group
Every compound offered for the front axle, the rear axle or both

Choosing a Compound

With no combo price on this pairing, the Front and Rear Set costs the same as the two axles, so the choice rests on how the car is used. SSS suits an early GS Turbo kept as a weekend car, with low wear and exceptionally low dust, and SSM Plus suits an owner who wants quiet, progressive stops. MX72 is the dual-duty compound for spirited road driving and a few track days, and CC-Rg takes over once the car is on track regularly. In the Racing Group, S55G is the compound Endless suits to front-wheel-drive cars, and the W003 Group is for a car built for the circuit.

Every figure below is Endless’s own. Friction is the compound’s average friction coefficient, so a higher number gives more bite for the same pedal pressure. The rotor range is the band of rotor temperatures Endless designs the compound to work in, so choose by the temperatures your car will see.

Street and street-to-track compounds

SSS (street): non-asbestos; friction 0.38-0.45; rotor range 0-480C (32-896F). Low wear, long rotor life, a strong initial response and exceptionally low dust, built for road and highway driving.
SSM Plus (street): non-asbestos; friction 0.33-0.40; rotor range 0-550C (32-1022F). Low dust, low noise and long life. Braking builds with pedal pressure rather than a sharp first bite, for drivers who want clean wheels and a quiet car.
MX72 (street to light track): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.37-0.47; rotor range 50-700C (122-1292F). Minimal noise and dust, strong friction at low temperatures, reduced rotor wear and a better pedal feel than a typical semi-metallic pad. Endless’s dual-duty compound for a road car that sees the occasional track day.
CC-Rg (track day, street capable): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.38-0.45; rotor range 50-800C (122-1472F). High initial bite across a wide temperature range, even when cold, and modulation that works with the factory ABS under hard use. Endless notes it is noisy on the street; it is the step up from MX72 Plus for regular track days.

Racing compounds

Each option below is one choice in the Choose Compound menu. For a group, name your compound in the order notes and Bulletproof Automotive confirms it with your order. Every racing compound needs Endless’s bedding procedure: at 70 to 80 percent of normal pedal effort, bring the rotors gradually to 400C (752F), then let them cool below 150C (302F) before hard use.

Racing Group

ME22: dual braking style; friction 0.33-0.38; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). Developed from ME20 with lower friction for control, for light to mid-weight cars or heavier cars on slower circuits. Endless rates it for street and track.
ME20: trail-braking style; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). High, stable friction at high temperature with low wear, developed for touring cars and rally. Works front or rear, with stock or racing ABS.
N35S: trail-braking style; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Quick, sharp and responsive, with stable modulation under high temperature and load. Endless’s flagship rally compound, also run in FIA GT, and its suggested starting point for drivers new to Endless racing pads.
N05U: trail-braking style; friction 0.46-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). More bite than N35S, popular in sprint-focused Porsche Cup cars.
N05S: trail-braking style; friction 0.45-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Immediate high friction with little pedal effort, used in Japanese rally cars without brake boosters and in European and Australian sprint racing.
N30C: friction 0.50-0.60; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). High initial bite, gentle on rotors and low wear. A rally compound for cars without a brake booster.
S55G: Endless publishes no figures. It suits lightweight and front-wheel-drive cars, and the rear of front-wheel-drive cars, with high controllability.
PC35: Endless publishes no figures. More bite than N35S with high braking force and a stable pedal; Endless’s base pad for rally raid.

W003 Group

W003: trail-braking style; friction 0.40-0.45. Similar in character to N35S with better wear, tough and stable at high temperature with a linear torque curve; run in rally, touring cars, ALMS and PWC. Circuit only: Endless does not recommend it for the street and notes high rotor wear when cold.
S330: trail-braking style; friction 0.60-0.70; rotor range 300-850C (572-1562F). High friction for sprint racing, with good control at high levels and without accelerating rotor wear; run in Super GT, stock cars and GT2 and GT3 sprint racing.

Applications

Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Turbo: D22A | 1990 | 2.0L 4G63T

Notes

Each Front or Rear set of Brake Pads for D22A GS Turbo cars built to March 1989 covers both wheels on one axle
For 1990 GS Turbo cars built before April 1989 only. Cars built from April 1989 take the EP243 front pad, and the build month is printed on the certification label at the driver door.
Not for the all-wheel-drive GSX, which Endless lists with the EP243 front for every 1990 to 1992 car
Endless lists these shapes for the Eclipse, not the Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser built alongside it, so owners of those cars should check fitment with Bulletproof Automotive
For the factory calipers. A GS Turbo converted to later or aftermarket calipers needs the pads made for those calipers.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
