I have heard that vitara brakes (ie disks and calapers)will fit on a sierra. Is this true and how much work are they to fit? I have found some where with vit wagon brakes for,
Front Rotors- $30.00each
Callipers - $45.00each
Booster - $45.00
This sound like the right price?

new rotors arent much more than that so once you get them machined you may as well get new ones I reckon

thats a good price for callipers too compared to prices I was quoted, dont know if you would really need the booster

as to fitting, yes they fit, but vitaras normally have the caliper at about the 10 oclock position so once up the top like on a sierra you cant bleed them, the solution is to slide the caliper back and bleed it then bolt it into place

the difference between the solid vitara (pretty much the same as sierra) and the vented wagon brakes is massive, make sure they are the vented ones of a 1.6 too, the ones meant for 16" wheels wont fit but you already know that

where would i go about picking up new rotors from?

[royce]

repco or decent spares place, if you want to save some money ask for RDA brand rotors

Would it maybe be possible to use the V6 calipers with 1.6 rotors? do they mount using the same bolt pattern?

no cause the rotor offset is different so wont line up
