best rotors and pads?
I was wondering evreyones opinion on the best rotors as far as resisting warpage,and the best pads for stopping. I looked in to the tundra conversion and found that autozone had tundra calipers per-loaded with ceramic pads for 199.00 a set. Is this a good deal? I would rather just replace my stock rotors and pads with something that stops better and will not warp. I just bought my 2000runner a few months ago and the rotor s feel a little warped (pulsing) and the thing feels like it takes forever to stop.

I'm going to have some brembo slotted rotors up for sale real soon. I will mic them for you, but they're less than 2 years old. Guessing 18k miles or so. I used factory Toyota pads. No issues, but I've got a set of tundra calipers/rotors in the garage that will go on soon. PM me if you're interested.

I bought autozone pads and rotors and ran them for a year and well they sucked, rotors warped after a year of average use, that is nothing that would create abnormal heating conditions (mountain passes).
Went with a new set up of Brembo blank rotors and Hawk pads...a beautiful setup and stops my runner great, its worth the extra bucks and the wait to order the right thing!

I need to do this for my 2000 runner as well. I asked this question previously and got brembo as a rec also. I had not heard about the pads before so I will go that route as well now.

They do create a greater amount of dust compared to say the autozone or napa pad but again it was worth every penny and second to clean the wheel, there really is a big difference. You get what you pay for, and the Brembo pads are built to let more heat out and are just built better. This would most definitely a superb setup if you do a lot of towing or live in mountainous regions.

I like the OEM style brembo rotors and stock pads. So far I have warped the stock rotors with Raybestos pads, warped the OEM brembos with Raybestos pads, Eventually warped the OEM brembos with the ceramic pads and I am most pleased with OEM Brembos with Stock pads. I think the stock pads stop better than the other combos I have tried.

Brembo blanks:
www.importrp.com -- Price per rotor = $45.99
www.tirerack.com -- Price per rotor = $41.00
Personally, I use Autozone duralast rotors.

Oops. My bad. You're right.
Autozone rotors are also $56, but I buy those, because if I ever need to return them (2 yr. warranty), I can get new rotors that day.
And cross-drill/slotted rotors don't do jack crap except reduce weight in your wallet.
