With 114,000 on the OEM's, they've lost a lot of braking power and I've got the warped rotor syndrome too. So, time to replace the front rotors and pads. After a lot of research, people seem to like EBC's lineup. I'm thinking about the 6000 Series Green pads with the USR Series Slotted Rotors. Anyone have any experience with EBC brake products? I'm also looking at ordering them from placeforbrakes.com...any experience with that site? Other thoughts appreciated too!

Check out tirerack and get yourself some Brembo's! Well worth it IMO. I am kinda up in the air in brake pads, I usually don't find any sort of performance differences. I do like ceramic pads as they create less dust but in turn create more heat on the rotor.

 

Look into doing the tundra brake conversion. i did it on my 4runner and i think it was well worth it. plus its super easy to do if you are considering replacing the entire brake system anyway.

 

I've researched the Tundra upgrade in the past, but am a little worried about clearance with my aftermarket wheels. Any problems possible with that?

 

The factory split 3-spoke wheels from my runner wouldnt fit without being ground or using a 1/4 inch wheel spacer. The wheel spacers were a terrible idea, poorly balanced and a ton of wobble in the steering wheel at 50 mph and up. Found that the 5-spoke wheels from my tacoma fit with no problems. It just depends on the backspacing of the wheel i guess, but im not sure what the back spacing measurement is needed to clear the calipers.

 

there are some NIB Brembo Rotors on TTORA for sale right now.. Here's the LINK

 

If you get the smaller tundra calipers they should fit. You have 16 inch wheels?

Its worth a shot, go to Autozone and buy one tundra caliper and bolt it up, then see if the wheel fits. The calipers are only held on by two bolts so it wouldn't be a huge deal. The hardest part would be re-bleeding if you put your 4runner caliper back on after. And if you pinch off the soft line above the caliper, even that wouldn't take too long.

Also, If you have some time, go post on tundra solutions, I got my OEM calipers with almost new pads for something like 120 shipped.
