All,
Well I'm back in the country now with my U.S. Diamante twin-potters and tried to bolt them up today. No go :( :(
The main mounting bolts on our 3rd gens are about 160mm apart, while on the US calipers they are only 130mm apart. Anyone got any clue what I can do?
Will the AWD/Ralliart bracket that I've herad about help me here, or am I totally stuffed?
These calipers fit a 276mm rotor on the US Diamantes, so I'm worried the AWD/Ralliart bracket will really only move the caliper out so it fits the bigger rotors, but won't fix my problem.
Does anyone have a set of AWD or Ralliart calipers sitting around they can measure the distance on the mounting bolts for me please?
Any help greatly appreciated.

P.S. I can get some pics up if anyone thinks that will help.

Mitsubishi Magna all run 160mm centre to centre width.
Sorry to say what you have is not going to fit the Magna vehicle.

Thanks guys.
I'm trying to return them, but the place I bought them from only accepts returns within 21 days.. damnit.
My next thought is to try and see them on eBay to someone in the US whos car they will actually fit.. so the next question is...
Does anyone know what vehicle these calipers will actually bolt up to? any chance they fit a Lancer? Jason speculated they might be for an Eclipse (but was only guessing)
Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks again guys,

Bro you got a 3rd gen? did you mod the 2nd gen veradas to fit or was it a straight bolt on?

Monkey,
For sure I want to sell them, but what do you want them for? I think it'd be pretty hard (and probably illegal) to make some kind of plate to make 'em fit a Magna.
Anyway, they are basically brand new, and have brand new pads with them.
Make me an offer.
