If you are lifted then you get a greater weight shift to the front so improved front brakes only does make some sense.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

I see your point, but on the road you could have a very light rear end at times!

Hi Dave cc

Please could you tell me if your g-wagon brakes would fit my M13A 2003 Jimny Auto?

Or if anyone else knows of any other brake upgrade possible without costing too much money, or adjustments.

Would appreciate a link also.

Thanks

If you are not wanting to modify components the best option is something like ebc greenstuff pads new disks and fresh brake fluid. All of which are effectively oem parts but just a bit better. After that you're going to want a rear disk conversion and braided lines and vented front disks with vitara calipers and high boiling point brake fluid. After that the only other thing is serious money on a custom big disk and multi piston caliper setup.
