How-To: Drum to Disc BRAKE CONVERSION | Suzuki Jimny 4x4 

Doing my best and glad it gets noticed! Thank you very much! P.S I'm planning an offroad trip from Romania this year ;)

@@The4x4Lab I hope you enjoy your trip!

Much appreciated mate :) It's nice hearing that the content I put efforts into creating is having an impact.

@@The4x4Lab for sure. Your content portrays the passion you have for yours and everyone else’s Jimny’s keep it up

Thanks Stuart! I bought the Jimny from Italy simply because of the less rust that they have over there :) After the 3 years of my driving in muddy conditions some rust has sadly started to appear (mostly behind the headlights)

no ARB in this video - but yeah, made in Bulgaria :)

Wow, that 's from far away, thank mate! Do you drive Suzukis over there in Nepal?

@@The4x4Lab Yes we do 😄😄😄

@@lonewolfvlogix6335 Great! I guess it's only the folks in the US that don't have the Jimny... poor people 😄

@@The4x4Lab hahaha . we do have lots of Vitara

haha, so someone has been waiting for this :D These videos take quite some time to put together :)

I was waiting too! There aren't many channels about Jimny and you certeinly are a source of inspiration for many of us! I loved the videos about the trip adventures!

I wouldn't say it's noticeable. Most of the weight falls on the front wheels when stopping, so they are the most important.

Good question. You need to bend and pull them quite a bit to reach the new hook points. If they survive, you can use them 😉

You need calipers from the 2002 to 2008 era Renault Megane models. I hope that helps ;) The negative part is that these Megane calipers dont have the best handbrake.

But you have low range that's better than a hand brake, right? xD

Megane 2 model has two different rear brakes with 240mm disks and 270mm. You need for 240mm, brake caliper carrier left side 7701069125, 77 01 055 012 (TRW - BDA970), right side - 7701069126 (TRW - BDA971).

Thanks :) These are Megane calipers and pads.

Thank you too! I belive, the Samurai has a bit different construction so it won't be the same as with the Jimny. However, I have seen Samurais fitted with a hand brake mounted on the transfer case. Try researching that out ;)

Buying the brake hoses is the better option 😎 I just decided on this cheaper alternative.

That's a good clarification - Thanks! 😉

I haven't tried other adjustable shocks to be able to compare but these are good :)

Just a regular metal 3 way connector ;)

Ah, I feel I should get paid for doing this hahah :D Here you go www.jimnybits.com/jimny-98-18/brakes/jimny-rear-disc-conversion.html

It should work, but best to get in touvh with Jimnybits to make sure.

Because the Renault Megane calipers are not always the same. There have been some variations on the production line. In effect, sometimes one might need a spacer, sometimes you wont need it...

I recommend you ask Jimmnybits' Support team directly

Nope, the Megane's discs are made for different wheels, thus bolt patterns.

@@The4x4Lab makes sense :)) and i presume the brake pads should be wider for a different size disks. Thank you very much for the video

Trying a new country on every second video? :D

These are the same discs that you use at the front. ;)
