    Powerstop Extreme Duty Drilled/Slotted rotors/pads
    Bought a 2010 tundra back in february, happy birthday to me lol. The truck is a white SR5 TRD, 4wd, and has a million horsepower.... give or take a few. I bought the truck from a shady dealership and have had to replace a broken leaf spring, and the rear brake pads only made it about 25 miles before they were metal on metal. When i did my inspection of the truck before i bought it i missed the broken leaf spring and since it had a brand new state inspection i took the brakes being decent as a given... silly me. i replaced the leaf spring and got new pads for the rear immediately and this past wednesday i received my powerstop Z36 4 wheel rotor and pad kit. great kit, my only gripe is that the new hardware for the rear calipers (little metal clippy guys) seemed to be a little too thick because i could not get the new pads in the right place with them, they just wouldnt fit... so i wire brushed the old clips and reused them. fit like a champ. truck stops noticeably better.

    i love this truck. Hands down, its my favorite truck ive owned so far. i had a 2006 toyota tacoma xrunner when i was 20 and that was a really fun truck until it got totalled 3 months after i bought it. broke my heart. but im back in the saddle with a bigger, better, badder, beast of a truck (for a 1/2 ton). ive already learned a lot from this forum and hope to be able to contribute now that im not lurking in the shadows!
