I bought everything new for an SJ. Five door Vitara 92-98 -ish. brackets and all.
With the Vitara calipers you will get the bleed niple on the side, so you will have too loosen the caliper and turn the bleed vent up to get the air out of it..
Something else to consider with vit calipers, is they are larger so clearance and wheel size my be an issue dependant on your setup.
My jim ran vit calipers on the rear when i got it, i swopped them out for jimny fronts. The vit cal[pers (even with new carriers with the correct grease. In fact i tried various different types of grease in the end) kept seizing up.
Never had that with the jimny ones. I have to unbolt them and sit them on top of the disc should i need to bleed them due to the location of the bleed nipple. but they don't give me any issues.
