What is the best way/products to upgrade my brakes on my 4runner..it has an '84 front axle. I was thinking drilled and ported rotors..with a lot of choices I'm trying to figure all this out. I'm replacing my front axle seals because they are blowing oil all over my rotors and brake pads. And until I make it my full time wheeler I still have the drums in the rear.it has a carbed Chevy 4.3L on 36's

Drilled rotors can have stress cracks that appear after a while. best direction would be get biggest discs that fit and uprated brake pads form brembo ferado mintex ebc etc. i have found grooved discs can wear pads faster than with out grooves.

A lot of people with your setup will simply run a pair of IFS V-6 (88-95) calipers and a pair of vented FJ40/60 rotors. Everything bolts up, there is no need to modify anything, and parts can be found cheap. If you dig a little deeper I think there were some differences with the caliper regarding piston sizes but they should all work. I have never run cross drilled or slotted rotors but I hear a lot of people complain the they get mud and crap packed in there when wheeling leading to extra wear and loss of breaking plus I don't think you will see any performance benefit from those types of rotors for the type of driving you will be doing.

Keep the hydraulic and mechanical parts in good shape with the best brake pads and shoes you can run.

Running the high end stuff is great if you have a good supply of parts on the shelf waiting a week or longer to get back on the road is not fun.

I bought pads, rotors and calipers for a 93 4runner V6. nice upgrade, but I ran 33's being the biggest tire. Good quality pads help too. I got Centric premium ceramic pads. Been two years now and not a single issue or squeak.
