I've finally installed the Irotors ($149), which are cross-drilled and slotted rotors. They were sweet looking and the braking power is much better than stock in combination the 4364 PF pads from Autozone.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Irotor's web site is www.irotors.com if anyone is interested. They seem to be great rotors, but only time will tell how they hold up.

P.S. Is there any way to firm up the feel of the brake pedal, instead of it being a tad soft feeling?

 

pics man pics, any pics taken of this?

 

Nope! Sorry guys! The rotors are sweet to say the least. They are cross-drilled and slotted, which look really cool. As far as the install, I had never done it, and it was very easy to do.

Chris,

oh yea, soft pedal, you did bleed them pretty good after the install right? mine were like that so I drove on it about a week after my last brake pad change and then bled them again and they firmed up.

 

I didn't bleed anything! The brakes work good, but I would prefer a stiffer feel to them if possible. Is how to bleed them in the repair manual?

Chris

 

did you stand on the brakes real hard after putting in the new pads? sometimes that helps to seat the pads a little better. but if you didn't bleed the line and it has always been sorta soft then try bleeding them. Bleeding is in a Haynis manual or in the FSM. It's pretty easy. if you do a search on the net for 4runner brake bleed I'm sure it would turn up something, I think Jalaber has one on his site but I can't remember.

Bleeding Brakes

you don't have an LSPV to bleed so ignore that in the write-up.

 

Adjust the rear brakes and you should have a firmer pedal and better braking performance.
