I do not know if any GV brakes fit the Jimny, other than what keithy says above with the 06 1,6 petrol parts. those will still fit 15".
Depends also on what GV you are thinking of as some had 16 inch wheels and names and year models vary between markets and also diesel/petrol variations.
I have to say as others have up here, that this mod is a great addition to the Jimny. I think I have had this mounted for 3 years now. My brakes are great and I have had no problems with them except for a brake pad where the steel separated from the sinter-stuff. I was at a Suzuki meet at the time and there was no spare pads to find there sadly, as there would be with "normal" brake parts. But a magician managed to repair the pads so I got home in one piece 600km.
The discs keep clean and the braking is allways even and very good.
No excess wear, no warping as I had before.
Mine is a 05 Jimny with ABS so I got the diesel jimny discs, Early Vitara hangers and calipers.
Today after what must be 4 to 5 years now I have my first problem, a stuck caliper i think, one brake is on and hot while driving and weak on braking.
Changed the discs and pads last year.
was planning on trying the diesel calipers but found they have a smaller 51mm piston than the vitara 92 to 99 54mm calipers. so I stay with the ones I got.
a bit worrying that there was no webshops in norway wich had both new calipers now, and no euro webshops i would trust or was cheap enough for my current non inflated norwegian wallet. 150 to 250 euro for a caliper..
So odrered two overhaul kits with piston and seals for the 54mm calipers.
The brake parts are available here in Martins webshop too, still very recommended!
