    Not a bad price. All together, about $304 for a quality kit. Thank you

    I have used OEM and Brembo rotors, depending on which his available when I need them and the price. Both are very good in my experience. My favorite pads are HAWK carbon pads, the ones in the green box.

    EBC slotted rotors fronts, Yellow pads. Worked well, used 2 sets of pads on them, alot of dust, slots eventually filled in. . Now went with Advic rotors and Akebono pads. A few thousand miles on them no issues so far..

    This was definitely your best option short of doing a high dollar upgrade!!!

    Do they sell them together in a kit or do I need to look up all the part numbers separately?

    You'll have to look up the parts separately but don't go off of that list I posted since your truck is a 1st gen. Best bet is to enter your VIN# on their site to ensure you're getting the correct parts.

    Edit: Oops, disregard about the list I mentioned, thought this was a different thread

    This is absolutely correct. You can Google search "Toyota Parts Online" then set up your log in (it's free), add your vehicle Year, Make, Module and also select the closest or most reliable Toyota Dealership to use. From the "Parts Center Online" scroll down until you get to the section for "Select your Vehicle" or "Enter your VIN instead".

    Ok, yes I get how to put the VIN in the toyota site, but then when I go to the brakes category there are hundreds of things, the top 2 hits for pads look like entirely different listings but both say Front Disk Brake Pad Kit.. and then scrolling down, everything else says "fitment not available". Sorry for the hijack!

    I’m trying the red heavy duty truck pads, they just re formulated them, I’ve heard great things about them.
