Hi guys I know no vitara calipers and disc are a direct replacement anbd upgrade to the jimny solid front discs my question is will grand vitara discs and calipers also bolt straight on ?.
I have vitara calipers and jimny vented discs fitted....fitted straight in....I remember bleeding was a modified approach as the nipple was lower....but they fitted straight on.
These calipers are readily available new, and not so costly either if you buy them online.
I strongly recommend to buy spanking new brake parts mainly for two reasons:
Availability. If we don't buy new service parts they will be more expencive due to lesser volume made and in the worst case discontinued.
Safety. I sell alot of used car parts but never sell used brake parts or other safety related parts like seat belts..
You never know what the donor vehicle has been thru.
Early Vitara lwb 5 door 1.6 16v calipers from around beginning to 1998 will fit.
Note that 3 door and 8 valve models does not have vented discs.
Bleed port will not face upwards so you will need to loosen calipers and turn so the bleed vent is up when you bleed the brakes as Keithy mentioned .
Early Vitara vented discs has smaller inner diameter in the center hole on the brake disc so these did not fit my 2005 Jimny.
But Jimny Diesel discs is the thing i guess?
