What type of brakes do you prefer?

And Why?...

 

[Stevenredx]

I like the stoptech brakes, recently seen the rotora and they look nice to.. but for the price of all the bbk out there im satisfied with my stockies

 

[DOGSTOY06]

Got my trd bbk about 6 months after i got the truck.Unaware @ the time that SOS performance had come out with a rear disc conversion kit.found SOS from a conversation with Bob Gardner @ TRD one of his long time friends owns the shop in Panama City,Florida. I called Tom Watts then ordered the kit . I know I was the first and only Xr in o.p. to have all four corners covered with discs. I had alot of attention as people would stop by and ask about em.

I have no frame of reference as I bought my X with the TRD BBK. I have been very happy with their performance thus far, though they have developed a squeak after 3500 miles that I will get diagnosed.

if/when i can afford it, i'll be getting the Rotora 355's with 6 pot calipers... they'll work much better when i start going up to Willow Springs or Buttonwillow

 

[Jonathan]

ofcourse, 332's

 

[morcheez]

stock cuz they were free

 

[07XR808]

is the trd bbk worth it? i was just wondering how much of difference in stopping power they got after switching over from stock.

 

[5000XD]

anything but stock. i have the stock ones but really really need an upgrade. im usually kind of last minute on my brakes so going 105-0 isnt really fun most of the times.

by the way i think that the trd bbk is in fact the stoptech bbk.......

 

[07XR808]

Yeah I've heard good things about the TRD kit and I believe the Stop Tech is very similiar. Not too many votes yet on the Rotora i guess since not many people have it...I feel the brakes on the X are pretty mushy but will do until i get the funds

 

[XRobber]

After riding in Gadgets truck.... DEFINATELY the stoptech for me lol

 

[gerk]

anyone have stock brakes with hawk or trd pads?

they are IDENTICAL except for the name, one says trd on stoptech....stoptech makes them both.

EBC Yellow pads on stock brakes about 2 months. They take a little to warm up, maybe one decent normal stop. Then they are maybe 5% better. But when they get hot, i didnt think they would throw me forward so hard. They should work very well when I am towing. Rear brakes on a pickup, basically useless unless you are racing(feel), or you are always towing(fade resistance). They have a bit more brake dust than the stock pads though.

I gotta say the Rotora 6 pot 355 kit. That thing looks hot and the price really isn't that bad for being a 6-pot caliper. If or when I have that kind of cheese I will be looking into that setup for sure.

I have to agree with you on the Rotota 6 pistons :top:

 

[nighthawk2106]

how much is the rear conversion kit?? i wouldn't mid upgrading to the trd bbk's??? how much are they as well??? Oh an i might as well ask whats the best site for performance mods to ur trucks???

 

[CorruptedDemon]

stoptech just for the looks of the frt and rear kit.:top:

 

[X-Rizzo]

Stock...cuz that's all I can afford lol.

 

[shook]

i know i want to get the TRD kit but dont know why i prefer it over the Stoptech, im sure theyre both great and of course... alot better than stock. i guess its because i like to stick with TRD products because they specialize in making performance parts for Toyota :top: cant go wrong with that :biggrin:
