Got my crossdrilled ones from Wheeer's Offroad and have not had any problems with warping and I went through 2 sets of factory ones in the past.

I also went with aftermarket pads from Autozone Performance Friction brand comes with lifetime Warrenty and is the same as what TRD uses. Brake dust is no worste than the factory pads.
Here they are on the Runner after a while.

www.taylorautomotive.com and www.tirerack.com have good prices on Brembo oem style ones. I got mine from taylor for like $51 and they got here in 2 days. Then I saw them on tirerack for $46!

My 2 cents is go for the Raceconcepts cross dimped/slotted rotors. Ive ran these with Performance Friction pads for around 2yrs.and they're awesome. Brake dust isnt an issue and stopping power/feel is 10 times better than stock. Raceconcepts will give the right rotor (Brembo's)for whatever you need. They're only a couple dollars more than stock and well worth it. Talk to Wood at Raceconcepts, he knows his stuff.

However, slotted rotors perform better than cross-drilled ones due to their superior heat-dissipating ability. This is largely due to the slotted rotor's bigger mass.

Can somebody verify this for me before I order it?
I have a 98 4Runner 2wd with the 15" wheels.
I want the Brembo Brake Discs.
Im looking at Taylor Automotives site, and for the Brembos they show $42.80. I will definitely buy them for that. But, it looks like they have the same part number as the "Mountain" brand above, which doesnt sound right.
Can somebody tell me if Im looking at the right stuff?
Here's where Im looking:

Thx!
