I know some people said they got their aftermarket brake kits from Tundraracing.com.
Heres a good quote from john about some of the different setups.

Yup u have the Rotora 335 4 pot and 355 6 pot, TRD 330mm 4 pot and TR 332mm 2 pot. I have the TR BBK and because I was on a budget. They work so much better then stock at stopping, just the weight of my foot is enough to stop the truck from 60mph for a red light. If u have more money then that at least get the Rotora 335mm 4 pot for around $1600. TRD is $2K at the cheapest and is basically the same.

Yup the Tundra Racicing 332mm BBK is a great setup for the money. Everytime I stop I realize what a smart decision I made about getting them instead of some cross drilled and slotted stock size rotors and TRD brake pads. I only have the semimetallic pads that came with the TR BBK and it still stops amazingly!

I just ordered these rotors with the "Green Stuff" pads for my truck. Have the same pads on my Harley and I love them.

+1 for EBC stuff. I have the Slotted/Dimpled rotors matched with the green stuff pads, and they are absolutely incredible.

Of course, the first 500 miles, the braking was vague, because they had to bed in, but after I did the 10-60-10 break in runs 8 times, they stop incredibly well. I only use about an inch to two inches of travel, and the stopping is awesome.

Word of warning, though. They squeak slightly, at random times / humidities. I've tried all the stop squeak pastes and cleaners. I live with the random times it squeaks like a cricket.

EDIT: For those ebay setups, I honestly feel like you get what you pay for. Those rotors might turn into cementite quicker due to shoddy casting materials, and might develop hot spots easier. It's much better to spend the money on quality stuff, rather than replace the crap again and again.

I wouldn't feel safe with those ebay brake deals. Brakes should be quality, not cheap because they were made cheap.

$1500 for BBK isn't bad at all. http://tundraracing.com/330xrunnerrotora.htm has them on sale.

and SSBK for a grand isn't bad either.

 

[NUPEPRIME]
