Okay heres where my install begins.
i mean the REAL begining... today i bought my set of used calipers from some guy down here locally from a 01 tundra that had only 50k miles before it was taken off. it came with pads with quite a bit of life maybe around 80%. they are the 199mm calipers (S13WE) and are in very good condition.
all threads and seals and pins are good no signs of damage or anything bad, hopefully.

i will get pics up tomorrow on the calipers just havent took pictures of them yet.

now heres where my thread starts.


so questions i have so far:
1.) were those calipers a good pick up for $60?
2.) they came with NO mounting brackets, neither do the other threads about this tundra brake mod talk about them. do i need them? if so where to buy? and about how much?
3.) I know i need the rotors. any suggestions? im thinking just brembo blanks brand new from online.. or do you guys recommend a different brand? a certain style? blanks or cross drilled or slotted??
4.) im pretty sure i confirmed this reading this elsewhere but, im hoping these will fit with just the dust shield cut down and with the 16" stock alloy wheels im good?
5.) thank you

ill get pics of the stuff or whatever info as i go just wanted to start a log if thats okay.


thanks everyone

one more question:

if i go with brembo blanks can someone confirm this is the right part number: Brembo 25534

team_gforce

1) yes
2) bolts onto the steering knuckle in the exact same place as stock calipers
3) when i did my conversion i also got used rotors with the calipers, so i can really suggest anything
4) small amount of trimming required on the dust shield, 199mm should fit just fine, its the 231mm that have clearance issues with the wheels.
5) you're welcome.

thanks for the reply!
shoot i want to order the rotors right now. but need to confirm with someone that those are the ones i need.

the way i found out those rotors because they are for the 01 tundra base model.
i just searched 01 tundra base model and those came up just wanted to make sure before i place the order haha
thanks everyone!

Brembo is the most common rotor used from what I've seen. Usually either drilled or slotted, think it's really just personal preference.

I did this very thing. Here is my write up as well and I too was able to get the stock rotors off the donor truck that I got the calipers from. It really is about as close to plug and play as you can get to a cross vehicle upgrade

The $60 for the pair was a gr8 buy! You did well. that is basically what I paid for mine and the rotors, but then again the truck I got mine off had a few more miles.

Pretty much any rotor you get for the 2001 Tundra should work. As for the dust shield to resond in kind, yes you will need to do a minor bit of trimming, All I had to do was file off a small amoount on the inner cut of the shield and it cleared just fine. No rub issues with the 199 mm Calipers. Feel free to ping me directly with any issues

so exciting news for me today,
i order through amazon at 70$ a rotor and because it was FREE shipping after 25$ on pretty much most of the items on there. especially to HAWAII thats a REALLY BIG benefit

so it estimated ship time around 2 weeks but i figure whatever ill wait and save some money. then i check back the next day after i ordered and it said it was shipped UPS 2nd day air!... FOR FREE!
so i just got it today already and probably going to get it installed this saturday night after work when i got time.


trucks is going through maintainence month and willl be feeling good for a bit.
this saturday getting alignment done and tire rotation and figured i just pay my friend a plate lunch to do the oil change as well with the truck up in the air. and then that night going to do this tundra brake mod! feeling pretty good and going to try get a good night sleep tonight HAHA unless i get tempted to do it tonight.. HAHA pics up soon!
