Nope. Most of the braking work is done by the front in all vehicles... regardless of 4wd, or 2wd. That's why you almost never see any big brake upgrade kits for the rear of sports cars.Originally posted by VehiX
Isn't it more suitable to increase the performance of the rear brakes on the VX?
There isn't a Brembo bolt-on kit. Brembo database only shows crossdrilled or slotted front rotors for the Isuzu Hombre and Oasis.
However... if the VXs brakes are actually 1st generation Mistu Eclipse brakes like Hotsauce mentioned... then we're damn lucky. There are a few big brake kits (13") available. Would look great for those with 18"s. Stoptech has a complete kit and is available from Diamond Star Specialties @ dss-racing.com. AEM has complete kits and replacement rotors. Bear has two kits, one with the 2 piston caliper, and one with Alcon four piston (over $2000).
Here's a link to what's available and it has links to the retailers. http://www.dsmtuners.com/parts/default.php?cPath=2_49
Kind of strange that Isuzu used brakes from a 2500lb sports car to stop a 4000lb truck. Puzzling. The stock pad, however, are probably the best OEM pads I've ever had on a truck. The Grand Cherokee I had a few years back had squealing brakes at 10k miles. No squeals from the VX so far.
