Costly yes, but not really terrible for what you get. That said, my truck is heavy, tires are heavy, and I have Stoptech cryo rotors mated to EBC yellow stuff pads and it will certainly stop quickly when the need arises.

Yes, also have Stoptech braided steel lines waiting on my too busy at the moment self to install them.

Pads and rotors go a LONG way.

The fact it has dual piston calipers up front makes life easier.

I had a stoptech kit on my GTI, and it was overkill for daily driving. Made my track days much better. Repeated hard braking from 120+ necessitated it.

Just for shitsngiggles I checked pricing for the Mustang...

Glad they are on sale.

The Shelby GT500/350 complete brakes are 4400.00.

I just need the rears dammit

So I understand why some of you have upgraded (big tires/racing etc) and the reason for the upgrade. The drivers around you say thank you. I can't stand seeing Jeeps on 37-40" tires and absolutely no braking upgrades.

The braking system on the tundra has been tested up to max GCVWR . I personally would see how the brakes perform first and then maybe consider a pad upgrade for towing.
