was going to upgrade front brakes in my sierra to vitara calipers and vented disc.
Can get calipers of a 97 vitara. Does it need to be of a lwb, or are the calipers the same on all vitara's?
Thanks for any help

As long as the calipers are off a 1.6L LWB with vented rotors you should be fine.

The 2L have bigger brakes and will need 16" wheels with the right offset to clear them. :roll:

LWB 1.6 front disc and callipers are what you need. They are a bolt on but the backing stone guard needs trimming to allow for the bigger calliper. And you will need help to bleed properly as you need to unbolt the caliper and rotate it a bit to bleed as bleed valve is in the wrong spot for the sierra.
