-Does this car still have the 3 bolt non-LSD rear end?
-Can I put charge piping/sidemount designed for a DSM on this car, with minimal hacking?

Thanks to you who replied to my post in appearance/body about the front end parts. Should hopefully have replacements soon.
Welcome to the VR-4 family!

Question 1 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Galant_VR-4

Question 2 - I'm not 100% if DSM shocks are compatible. I would check.

Question 3 - Different calipers and different lug system. DSM = 5, VR-4 = 4

Question 4 - I am not sure if it is a LSD, but the VR-4's came with 3 bolts.

Question 5 - Unsure.

That's about all I know off the top of my head!

I have a 92 front grille and an extra set of front corner lights I could sell you for cheap you'd like to make a drive down here.

Oh and for future reference and as so you don't get flamed for it later, the VR-4's are NOT DSM's. They were manufactured solely by Mitsubishi in Japan and exported across the world, whereas DSM's were build in Normal, United States.
