The stock single piston calipers/pads the Delicas come with are ok but my standards are somewhat high when it comes to braking.
If your braking system is in good condition (good pads, rotors, clean slide pins, good brake hoses) and you still want more, you can easily upgrade to twin piston brake calipers.
You will need new calipers, brackets, and brake pads. You can keep your old discs, but they're slightly thinner than the Montero/L400 discs so don't let the pads wear too low. (You should be replacing the pads when they go below 2/3rds anyway, thin pads transfer extra heat to the calipers which isn't ideal)
OEM Part numbers:
If you're fitting used callipers from a Montero/Pajero/L400 I'd advise refurbishing them with new pistons, sliding pins, and a rebuild kit (contains seals, rubber boots, sliding pin buffers, and magic Mitsubishi sliding pin grease). The 2-piston brakes are awesome, but the callipers have a habit of seizing up if not occasionally greased.
Jesse from Delica.ca had some Raybestos part numbers:
"I bought all the brakes gear
-Raybestos Professional Grade calipers (semi-loaded = comes with slider pins,mounting brackets, pad mounting clips)
-Raybestos Professional Grade ceramic pads
-Raybestos PG Calipers
Raybestos Part # Description QTY Price
------------------------------------------------------------------------
RAYPGD530C PGD530C CERAMIC BRAKE PAD 1 $45.99
RAYFRC10470 Brake Calipers 1 $56.99
RAYFRC10470 core charge 1 $30.00
RAYFRC10469 Brake Calipers 1 $56.99
RAYFRC10469 core charge 1 $30.00
RAY96687 96687 BRAKE ROTOR 1 $49.99
All are spec'd for a 1992 Mitsubishi Montero Sport (any parts place in US/Canada will have them)"
It's a direct bolt-on except two things :
1. Dust shield has to be cut (top/bottom) about 2 inches to allow for the larger (longer) mounting bracket
2. Brake line mounting plate onto the caliper needs to be modified/bent, as does the short metal brake line.
Here's what my calipers ended up looking like. Note the re-shaped steel brake pipe and bracket. The cut down dust shield is less obvious, but see the other photos below.
