This is a completely bolt-on disc brake conversion for a Vitara, with in-built hand brake.
This kit suits earlier Vitaras where the wheel studs are in the brake drum - approximately pre 94.
It uses standard Suzuki front brake rotors, and common brake calipers from an 89-92 E33 (HG-HH in Australia) Mitsubishi Galant, which include a handbrake in the caliper and are sized correctly to work without an additional proportioning valve.
The kit connects the stock Suzuki handbrake cable to the caliper with no modifications to the cable required.
The kit contains:
Caliper mounting brackets
Disc mounting adaptors
Replacement caliper handbrake quadrants
Handbrake cable brackets
Brake hose brackets & clips
Handbrake cable mounting hardware
Longer wheel studs
All required mounting bolts
Brake hard lines pre-flared with nuts.
3-way T piece
Instructions
The only parts required are:
Mitsubishi Galant calipers and brake hoses
Suzuki brake discs
Brake fluid.
Silicone sealer / gasket maker
Can be installed with simple hand tools in a few hours.
The calipers are usually available rebuilt from Rockauto in the US under the following part numbers:
CARDONE 19B1626, CARDONE 19B1627
CARDONE 19B1192, CARDONE 19B1193
CENTRIC 14146511, CENTRIC 14146512
CENTRIC 14146517, CENTRIC 14146518
A lot of the reconditioned calipers don't come with the special banjo fitting where the brake hose connects to the caliper. You can use SUNSONG 2203882 from an Isuzu Amigo / pickup if you don’t have the banjo block fitting. This hose has a banjo on the end and will bolt straight to the caliper.
