Don't do anything until you get the full floaters with discs. You won't need an upgrade.

Someone must be able to point me towards a front brake upgrade? I don't like the idea of just upgrading the rear brakes especially when I plan to tow pretty close to the max weight limit on dirt roads.

Lwb vitara rotors and calipers. You may need to get the centre of the rotor machined out approx 1.3?mm. Pm 31zook and he will confirm which ones he is using. He will have the ones that fit directly onto the 99-05 model, 06+are slightly bigger centre hole :)

Shep, Towing heavy loads, I'd be wanting to do the rear brakes to. Perhaps a good place to start.
