brembo blanks are real nice, but it would be worth doing the tundra swap if you are looking for new rotors. not sure if you offroad alot or drive fast, but the brakes on the 3rd gens suck!
as for pads, alot of people love the OEM ones. same goes for rotors.

brembo blanks w/ akebono ACT pads. ive got that on my truck now (with tundra setup) and no warping or fade whatsoever. or brembo blanks w/ oem or trd pads are also a good combo

i would say go with some brembo blanks, and then HAWK pads...if your looking for a lil better pedal feel too, you could always go stainless brake lines, i think goodridge makes a good kit...

how long do these setups last compared to factory rotors and pads? also is this a good brake setup for just factory trucks?? bc i have the factory or you guys call it OEM pads and discs and they do fine and have lasted 30k miles

That setup would be excellent for stock trucks too. I'm not as fond of the PF pads because I had them on mine and the pad backer rusted alot worse than the OEM pads. I would go with Akebono ceramics......good stopping power, slightly longer life and alot less brake dust on your wheels.

The pad life should be similar to OEM if not slightly longer.

the ake's are expensive man.. haha... like i mentioned before my brakes are pretty decent with factory discs and pads. yeah the pads get dusty as hell but after 30k miles they are still pretty good...
