Yes they are, however carriers are current proving to be an issue. Trawling around the internet, contacted a number of breakers without much success.

I found the correct donor car in a scrap yard in Carlisle a while ago. It was a LWB vitara MK1, but it looked like it had been at the bottom of the sea for most of its life. I think it was a very early one. It was the only MK1 with vented discs from the others I saw there. MK2 mostly seem to have vented but are the wrong offset to work as far as i've seen.

Might be worth messaging Keith Phillips as i think he might have made some in the past?

I have also been looking at front brembo calipers from a renault megane 225, these look simpler to make a mount for but might be too much for the master cylinder to run.
