Are there aftermarket Rear Disc Brakes available for 98' 4 door Vit/Kick???  Has anyone done this conversion?  Any feedbacks on this?

I can not remember who does the Full Floter Kit gor the Samurai, but I spoke to them a few months ago and they thought that their kit could be adapted to work on Kick.

I would F'N LOVE a rear disc brake conversion kit if it were available.  I don't even care about the improved braking power, I just the love the look of 4 wheel disc brakes.  I am shocked that the new Suzuki Verona/Chevy Epica has four wheel disc brakes.  I also can believe why the Aerio doesn't have 4 wheel disc brakes as of yet...that little machine's got 155 HP under the hood!

Found his site but it seems like he has removed the rear disc info.http://www.rhinoman.fsnet.co.uk/

Zukipilot,
Thanks for the feedback.  How do I get in touch with this guy? Hope you remember soon. Keep me posted when you remember.
Thanks.

97Trakin,
Thanks for the link.  Will do more searching for the disc brakes and will post what I find. Hope you can help me source this elusive rear disc brake thingy.
Thanks.

It was a Trail Tough Sami Full Floater Kit. See the link on the Zukiworld home page for contact info. I know there will be some modification needed but I think it could be done.

What about in that artical about putting an 9in rear in a Tracker.  Mike used the front rotors of a Tracker and Satarn SC2(Or some s%!t like that) Calipers.  made his own brackets though.  lata Stu

Mike used rear Saturn calipers and disks for
the parking brake feature, a line lock also
works but it does not offer a secondary brake
which can be important, especially if you
blow a front brake line like I did, going down
a steep hill, out at Tierra Del Sol last year, glad
I had a working Parking Brake
