Is the USA Galant the same as our 380 Mitsubishi..I have been told they are very close and just wondered if all parts are the same if ordering replacements..

The 380 was based on the US Galant but a lot of changes were made.

Some parts are interchangeable but a lot aren't, especially due to RHD v LHD.

So before you buy anything meant for the US Galant you should double check that it fits & works on a 380.

I have the 380 brakes on the KJ and wondered if the Galant brakes are the same as the 380 brakes..

The Galant had 1 further facelift model after the model parallel to our 380, then it was discontinued too.

Yeah that was the model I saw in Canada a few years back and thought if our 380 had made it to DC (?) or Series 4, they could have done something like this.

So as far as brake pads,what do you guys recommend for the 380 brakes..I was looking at a ceramic,or ceramic mix..
