where is the best place to get new front pads and disks and maybe calipers, as well as new rear shoes for my 1994 vit.

Your local motor factors will probably be your best bet.

Brakes International were very helpful when I recently rebuilt my calipers. Great service & cheapest I could find

I've been using my local motor factor.
I think it's normally £14 for the pads and £16 for the shoes

Also, vitara brake drums are cheaper I think.
You can enlarge the centre hole to fit on a sj/samurai hub

Man at those prices I would consider sticking rear discs on it! (I know its easy for me to say  )
But if your talking about that kind of money for drums then the discs have to be considered.

i need front pads and rear shoes. as a deffinate. when i get the rear drum covers off i may discover i need more for the rears.
would like to change the front calipers as they are old.
and as a rule of thumb i always change pads and disks at the same time on my bikes so thought it would be same with the car.
