Currently my escudo has rear drums and i would like to upgrade to discs to get more bits out if my fiddle brakes. Do any early vitaras have rear discs?

Anybody converted the rear to disc's that can point me in the right direction?

No, unfortunatly no Vitara or Escudo have ever had rear disc brakes.
I would have it done years ago as well!

hi guys, rear disc conversion sure can be done. Check out the Suzuki boards at outerlimits.com or difflock.com. Lots and lots of lovely picks and info. Search and ye shall find

There was a fella on Trade Me selling brackets that bolt up to the rear diff housing and mount front discs and calipers off a 413. You will need proportioning valve etc if on road but its certainly do-able. Have 413 discs on the rear of my wagon, its running early 90's sammy rear.

Anyone mking a bolt on set of brackets yet? Seems like a small but definate market there.

I'll buy a set of brackets for sure. Actually need them sooner than later.

Yeah I know this is a bit of an old thread. Been digging and it came up.

Found on another site

might have found another option, Suzuki and said to be bolt in ...
Off of a Suzuki swift GTI, rear Kick/Vit discs, machined back to 240 mm's instead of 290 mm (9 1/4 inch instead of 11 1/4 inch). thickness is the same. If you get the calliper mount off off the swift it would bolt right on (still have to try this). But I'm about to order the parts from the Junkyard and see how it turns out.....

Big-Al has discs on the rear of his 413 (were done when he got it), I'm sure he'd be happy to show you the truck if it helps.
Truck is in silverdale...
