No dice. No easy upgrades.

Just buy some new rotors ($45 a piece) and get some Bendix Ultimates or some other sporty kinda pad (last time i bought them were about $120 probably gone up now), or maybe try some QFM pads.
Standard pads are shit.

they might,
The magna rotors should bolt onto the sigma hubs, but im not sure about those calipers going straight on?
Are the struts froma GH sigma with the bolt on caliper bracket? If so its not to hard to have a bracket made up to suit the caliper/ rotor combo you want.

I am currently looking at all my upgrade options and will let you know how I go. The upgrade will work on both the std GC/GD galant and GH scorp/sig(removable bracket) struts, with only a slightly diferent bolt pattern for the bracket on the strut.
