Brakes upgrade w/ 15" rims on 98 Tacoma
If I knew about the tundra swap last year I would have upsized the tire/wheel combo to 16" Too late now. What can I do to improve my brakes on my '98 4x4 tacoma with 15" stock cast alum wheels? It's time for a brake job.

Most often people associate better brakes with bigger brakes. Not always the case. Sometimes its as easy as upgrading your pads on OEM rotors. You can also upgrade your rotors with a better heat dissipation type rotors, such as slotted(Not to be confused with cross drilled).

Stoptech, Axxis, and Hawk, are just some of the companies that offer aftermarket/better brakes for just about any vehicle on the road today. Also replacing/going with a stainless steel brake line with a higher temp. Brake fluid makes all the difference in the world.
