Rotors
So I need to upgrade my brakes before I put on my bigger tires. They already suck.
I got a new set of V6 style calipers (4 large pistons) and I'm looking for a good set of rotors, any suggestions? I dont need to pay out the nose either, would like something cross-drilled however.
Need to be able to stop 32s and right now shes scary as hell just on 30s
Any other advice would be great as well!

LC Engineering has a set of cross drilled for $120, which is a pretty good price.
However they have a different price number for the V6 style rotors and the 4cyl rotors, I was under the impression that they were the same.
I got a set of calipers from a 94 4Runner V6 (new), so which style rotor would I need?

I think I'm gonna go with LCs set, $120 for a set of slotted
But which ones should I get?
I've got an '88, but I'm getting a set of '94 calipers, so should I get the V6 rotors or no?

Cross drilled rotors will NOT increase your stopping ability.
If anything, they'll decrease it, compared to blanks, everything else being equal.
If you can't stop on 30's now, then you need to fix what's wrong with your current braking system before you worry about upgrading.

Thats why I'm upgrading my calipers.
My old ones are junk.
I've done new pads, new rotors, and a new MC. Calipers are the only thing left.
I'm just wondering what year rotor I need to run with the newer calipers

x2 + take the rear tires and drums off to adjust the drum brakes - yes there is an auto adjuster in there, but when was the last time you disassembled it to clean and lube everything to keep it working properly?

your lspv is adjustable- just adjust the adjuster on the arm. longer=more pressure to the rears, shorter=less pressure. 
you'll be surprised how much more braking power you have when the rears are adjusted properly.

Anyway, does anyone have the answer to the original question? I also have a set of S13WB calipers (early 90'2 4runner/T100) waiting in the garage . . . if no one has an answer I might go to the parts store and just measure the OD of the T100 rotors and compare to my stock ones.
