in need of new front brakes

[lamia2super]

wondering what everyone has done to upgrade their brakes because im about to hit 100k miles and will soon need new pads and rotors. I was thinking of ordering hawk brakes, steel brake lines, and search for a new pair of rotors. I would love to buy a BBK but im currently on a budget with this truck.

if your rotors haven't been re-surfaced yet just get them re-surfaced and throw some good brake pads on! i've heard some great things about the trd pads and yellow stuff pads

Check my thread, "stock brake pads and rotor swap" I'm on my phone and can't post link. Hope this helps a lil

What I knew of rotors or thought I knew was dubbed incorrect... The best rotors are the blank rotors and the best pads are either EBC yellow stuff or TRD brake pads.

Better then hawk pads ?

I went from hawk/brembos to.........

EBC stage 5 kit along with gstop braided lines


http://ebcrotors.com/p-235-stage-5-...D&submodel2=4.0L, V6&submodel3=Non Pre-Runner


Id call first and make sure these will fit the X

I bought mine from Marco at 4wp Chula Vista


yes I know the picture has a 6lug.............but they offer a 2wd NON prerunner option too, so thats gotta be a 5 lugger.....just not 100% sure if itll work for an X


and NO, they are not drilled..............Id NEVER run drilled on a DD

No pulsing either

I dont notice anymore dust rlly than the hawks generated.

just remember, they (like hawk) have bed in procedures with info on the box.........true stopping performance will not be seen right outta the box, it will only get better

 

[lamia2super]

Ya all brakes have to be bedded in

So yellow stuff and hawks generate the small amount of dust and have the same performance ?

I noticed similar dusting

as for braking, the EBC combo feel better, but thats subjective, sorry.................without measured stopping distances I cant say if 1 truly is better. Sorry If I made it sound that way.

tempting.......

friend of mine just told me he can get some stop tech rotors and stainless lines for ~250

Come up to Tampa and you can have a low mileage (40K?) set of stock calipers, rotors and pads for free - still haven't gotten rid of mine - too lazy to pack, them up and ship anywhere
