If I recall correcty then all vitara front brake parts fit jimnys. The exception being the Vitara with the vented discs, but even these fit if you change everything at one.
I could be wrong, but this is how I remember it

It's the vented ones I'm after. I've already warped one pair of discs and well on the way to warping another pair. Need something that will stand up to my thinking the Jimny is a racecar.
I'm not too sure I'd want too much more braking in the wet with mud terrains on - it's easy enough to lock up my fronts in the wet now, let alone with stronger brakes!!!

I think it's the GV XL7 V6 that has the vented discs and calipers. I had a garage phone up the other week with a Jimny that they kept getting the "wrong" parts sent through for. Turned out it had vented disks and larger calipers fitted. I sorted some GV parts for them.

Hi Mlines
I have a 2000 model with the G motor, does the vitara calipers fit the jimny brackets or does an adapter plate need to be made and does the master cylinder need to be upgraded?
Thanks Neil
Sorry, I don't know the details, but was going to have a go myself at one point
