Calipers - Lucas-Girling or Aisin

I wondered if people had a preference for either Lucas-Girling calipers or Aisin calipers.

Were Spanish built Santana's usually Lucas-Girling?

I prefer Lucas as there’s a choice of callipers off various vehicles that share the same pads but have different piston sizes, this helps if you want to upgrade your braking system as you can adjust the brake bias with piston size choice.

However aisin are the same as Jimny calipers so they are easier to find new.

I’m still undecided which type tend to seize up on the sliders more though :lol:

Thanks for your comments.
I have obtained some Aisin's for my rear disc conversion. But have already had a set of Lucas refurbed by BiggRed. Thought it better to have Lucas front & rear maybe rather than a mixture.
