    Hey all,

    I am looking for an upgrade from the OEM brakes. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know TRD sells Brake pads and rotors and they are not cheap, are they worth the $$?
    THX.

    Thanks for the info y'all. Those Brembo brakes are something else Yotaman. Is that what you have on your truck?

    These are the best pads I have used ever, on multiple cars, over two decades. These are the street pads - they have racing pads too.
    Nothing I have used compares for continuous use brake fade, or emergency stop. I used to have a commute with 2K ft up/down windy mountain road with a real fast car.
    I'm a big fan of quality slotted rotors also.

    Brake Fluid is important, too.

    Freshen it every two years and put in Bosch DOT5.1 (not DOT 5) which has a higher boiling point, more fluidity, and longer service life versus DOT3.

    I don't see this rotor or brake caliper offered on the brembo site after entering my tundra specs. Anyone know the part # or drop a link?

    I use the StopTech slotted sport rotors and ceramic pads. Been great for the past 3 years.

    Look at rotora brakes. Killer setup. 4 piston back and 8 piston front.
    2 piece Alloy hats and 16”rotors .
