Tundra Brake Upgrade FAQ
#82
Hey guys I'm new to yotatech and looking for a big brake kit for my S Runner. It seems to me that it would be possible to use the tundra caliper because I have 16 inch rims. The problem is the 6 lug rotor instead of my 5 lug. Does anybody know of a rotor that would fit or if this is possible?

I put in rebuilt 199mm calipers a short time ago, but the four bolts holding the two halves of the calipers together are now rusting. They seem to be M10x1.25x90mm flange bolts, but I'd like to get OEM bolts, instead of replacements, if possible. Does anyone know the Toyota part number for these?

It seemed like every few years the dreaded brake shudder would appear and I would have to turn or replace the rotors. I finally bit the bullet and did the Tundra upgrade on my 98 LTD. I went with Cardone reman 13WE (199mm) calipers to avoid interference issues, and new Bosch Quietcast rotors and Brembo pads. About ~$375 and maybe I will get some back on core return.
I found the backing plate was just barely rubbing on the rotors. Probably could have left it alone, but a few passes with a hand file took care of it. The old hard lines fit fine.
After seating in the brakes, they seem to be stopping as well or better than my old ones - plus no shudder.
The factory twin spoke (3V) wheels, and the factory steel spare fit without rubbing. Aside from the tiny bit of filing it was all bolt-on. A different brand rotor might interfere more.
Update:
The Brembo P83118N pads did not last even 20K miles, and produced more black dust than any other pad I've used.
