Brake Options Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5 Door | Brake Pads and Discs

This nonfiction is not astir large brake kits but it is astir options disposable retaining the OEM caliper and rotor diameter of the Jimny XL JC74 oregon the Jimny JB74.
-----

The 3 Door Jimny JB74 (K15B) and the 5 Door Jimny JC74 (K15B) person a batch of parts successful common, the chassis from the beforehand to wherever the transportation lawsuit sits and past from the rear radial limb mounts till the process extremity of the chassis it is identical betwixt the 3 doorway and the 5 door. The quality is an further conception of astir a ft successful magnitude and a caller transverse subordinate successful the extended portion successful between.

Similarly the compartment from the chemoreceptor till astir the beforehand seats are identical successful level layout and compartment layout but the shorter beforehand doors and frankincense the placement of B pillar. The the customized acceptable beforehand level mats of the 3 doorway Jimny is simply a cleanable acceptable successful the 5 doorway level borderline to edge. Powertrain, transmission and wheels are each the same. They are twins sharing batch of components but beforehand brakes are not connected that list.

Suzuki utilized a 10mm heavy 290mm diameter coagulated beforehand disc for the JB74 3 doorway mentation but for the JC74 5 doorway mentation they utilized a 17mm heavy 287mm diameter ventilated disc. The brake calipers are besides antithetic betwixt these 2 models with the JC74 calipers having wider spread to accommodate the thicker brake discs. The brake pads are besides not interchangeable betwixt the JB and JC calipers.

There is simply a ailment of brake judder successful the Jimny erstwhile applying brakes from higher speeds and whilst repeated braking. Many person reported this successful the Indian Jimny groups and is an universally reported niggle, myself included. Brake judder is caused by 1) either brake disc warping oregon processing hotspots and oregon 2) uneven transportation of friction pad worldly connected to the disc caused owed to blistery spotting astatine precocious temperatures.

The substance from Monster Sport website listing their JB74 upgrade brake discs is copied below. So it is understood that the OE coagulated discs of JB74 are besides not upto scratch and Suzuki astir most apt upgraded the fronts to vented successful the 5 doorway hoping to mitigate the issue.

To tackle this immoderate 5 doorway owners are utilizing the JB74 upgrade slotted brake discs successful their JC74. Not an perfect solution arsenic you spell further down you shall recognize why. Whilst immoderate 5 doorway owners are conscionable upgrading the brake pads and keeping their mill brake discs. This is simply a dependable option. Some person imported the JB74 upgrade brake pads from Japan and elsewhere and person been disappointed.

Suzuki/Maruti Suzuki erstwhile they added much wide and magnitude to the JB74 to marque the JC74 5 doorway Jimny they besides changed the beforehand braking strategy completely. The brake calipers, the discs and the brake pads are each antithetic and not interchangeable (except for the brake discs, but not perfect arsenic you volition larn below). The brake pads are not interchangeable betwixt these 2 vehicles either, due to the fact that calipers are different. The calipers are antithetic due to the fact that the discs are thicker. The brake discs are antithetic due to the fact that Suzuki see this an upgrade implicit the JB74 coagulated brake discs expecting the ventilated brakes to tally cooler expanding beingness and alteration fade.

The origins of the 5 doorway Jimny XL JC74 braking strategy tin beryllium traced to the 3rd procreation Jimny JB53 with the Renault K9K 1.5L turbo Diesel engine. The JB53 inherited the upgraded vented brakes the origins of which tin beryllium traced to the Vitara/Escudo (TD01W/early TL52W) whilst the petrol powered JB23, JB33 and JB43 continued with coagulated brakes. Ventilated brakes are designed to tally cooler than coagulated discs. To instrumentality the heavier K9K Diesel powerfulness works fewer captious components were beefed up successful the JB53; amongst which 1 is the vented beforehand brakes and the different the strengthened beforehand axle housing.

Which brake pads fit?

Some vendors person already figured retired the fitment and person been selling the pads successful Jimny circles but they person not fto retired the details successful public, evidently owed to the information that they wouldn't beryllium capable to merchantability arsenic galore pads if the accusation is out. The brake pad portion numbers wouldn't beryllium shared to those who had asked for it, and adjacent paying customers person brake pads successful boxes with nary portion numbers connected the container oregon the pads. So I took this arsenic a amusive situation to fig retired the fitment, for some brake pads and brake discs and frankincense present we person options.

There are excessively galore brake pads to database and immoderate of the known names I did not notation are Bendix, Raybestos, Wagner, Ferodo etc. Some of these circumstantial portion nos are infact "Made successful India" (AC Delco and Bendix) arsenic per the Country of Origin provided. In USofA look up '98 Chevrolet Tracker 4 doorway to find matching brake pads. You tin hunt with the FMSI ID D556 which volition output shaper transverse notation for respective OEM and aftermarket pads. For my friends successful Australia since this exemplary twelvemonth Suzuki Vitara/Escudo was sold determination you tin find brake options locally.

But bash your probe and bash your homework due to the fact that nary of these brake pads and really "listed" for the Jimny 5 doorway aka Jimny XL aka JC74.

Note connected Brake Friction Coefficient ? and DOT Codes

All thoroughfare brake pads sold successful the United States is required to amusement the brake friction coefficient arsenic a 2 missive code, for illustration FE, FF, GG, GF etc. The archetypal missive indicates the friction astatine debased operating somesthesia 93C to 204C and the 2nd missive indicates the friction astatine higher somesthesia 149C to 343C.

The coefficient of friction (?) codes (SAE J866) assigned to the missive is arsenic fixed below. A pad with GF standing would person precocious archetypal wound erstwhile acold and reduced wound friction) erstwhile blistery and a pad with GG standing would grounds precocious friction erstwhile acold arsenic good arsenic hot. The friction codification gives the idiosyncratic an denotation connected however a peculiar brake pad behaves but is not absolute.

1. D = 0.15? to 0.25?
2. E = 0.25? to 0.35?
3. F = 0.35? to 0.45?
4. G = 0.45? to 0.55?
5. H = > 0.55?
6. Z = Not Classified

The brake pad friction materials lend to the coefficient of friction and the wide performance. Most options we person for Jimny are - 1) Non Asbestos Organic (NAO), 2) Semi-Metallic and 3) Ceramic - each having their ain pros and cons.

I bought Bosch BC556 brake pads which are ceramic and are not expensive. I volition support the blog updated connected however these execute arsenic we go. Couple of photos of the existent brake pad are fixed below.
