I called Taylor Automotive and they said that it would have the same SKU, but if you put it in your cart, it would specify.

I added it to my cart, and yes it did specify, so I bought a pair!

Yea! I've been looking for some of these, and I got them both for $85, and shipping was free.

I can finally replace my worn to the limits and warped rotors.
Good deal.

wouldnt you need rear disc conversion to match the stopping power up front? I know this has been talked about before but I havnt seen any clear answers. Doesn anyone offer this conversion or would it be a PITA?

2001 millrunner,
I will just replace the pads sooner! I only have 15,000 miles on my truck and the pads are GONE! I drive HARD, stop HARD!!

I don't recommend cross-drilled nor slotted for a truck application, but it does improve braking performance for typical street application. My brake pads life have REAL short life with cross-drilled/slotted rotors. I went through TRD pads in 1 year (brand new to squeaking).
If you race (not sure how many truly race on this forum) or do any kind of stressful driving, the drilled (or cast)/slotted rotors may crack or warp on you.

I bought a set since I was curious about these rotors. Cross-drilled save weight for motorcycles. Slotted helps the gas from pads escape for those pads that are gaseous. Street application brake pads are not as gaseous as some of the different race brake pad compounds out there. The best bet for stressful applications (racing or serious offroading) is to buy bigger rotors with bigger brake calipers since you want to INCREASE the braking surface area.

Ajatx, I would have bought the setup you are taking about but NO ONE sell it for the Taco!!

DrummerDaveB

Holy Crap!!!!

I went home for lunch today, and when I got there, I found the
Brembo rotors I ordered from Taylor Automotive yesterday!!

I about fell over.

I think Taylor Auto is my new best friend.


Oh, and dBikeman - According to Taylor's site, the 2wd, and 4wd with 16" wheels have the same part number on their brake discs.

I'll second this vote for the raceconcepts.net rotors. I've got them crossdrilled/slotted and they are sweet. Much better feel, improved stopping distance and no warping (yet) and it's been over a year since I replaced my badly warped stockers. Goto their website - these are brembo blanks and you can choose between drilled, slotted or dimpled or any combination of these that you need. Can't beat the price either......
If you get the Performance Friction Pads from Autozone, there's no need to worry about pad life since they have a lifetime warranty. So when they get low, you just trade them out for a brand new set at your local Autozone for free.

NX Tacoma

Bbeast, that's what I did. Ordered the Brembo cross drilled rotors and the PF pads. They were only $37.00 for the PF pad's and I will be at Autozone every 6 months! I think it's the best break setup I can do to my Taco!

skshepherd

Yeah I got mine quick also from Taylor Automotive.

DrummerDaveB

I got my new Brembo's all painted up and installed last night.

Yeah! No more vibration when breaking, and no worries about the rotors being under spec anymore!

I wish I would have found these sooner.

justinh

you painted your rotors?

NX Tacoma

Your welcome Drummerdaveb

DrummerDaveB

Yeah. I painted everything but where the pads go - to help keep them from rusting. . . . Cause rust is ugly.

OK, so who still has their ported/slotted rotors without a problem?

I read Gadget's write up about his slotted rotors but he was saying that when the slotted warp, they return to a warped state very soon after turning...

Anyone have any problems yet?

Xpresident

Do you have a part number for the right application? I checked out the website, but couldn't figure out which one was right for the 4runner.

I just got my powerslots installed on Friday. They didn't make a big difference, but I think I have leaky axle seals making them do ALL of the work currently. I have the seals to install, just need a little time...
