    Looking for an upgraded braking system for 18 Tundra. I looked into Wilwood and they recommended Fast Brakes. Does anyone have a package for caliper and rotors stainless lines? Somewhat reasonably priced?

    EBC dimpled/slotted rotors, Yellowstuff pads, Powerstop stainless lines - get the whole setup from BuyBrakes.com and use their 10% off code.

    Edit - oohh calipers. Mmm. Coffee hasn't kicked in yet. Powerstop has a kit on that same site, yes.

    What size wheel size are you planning to run?
    What sort of payload?
    Driving Type?

    Reason you feel that the OE braking system is lacking?

    Stoptech,
    Alcon,
    Willwood,
    Powerbrake,

    and whatever custom you are willing to properly retrofit.

    This should meet every part of your criteria, but they aren't cheap. I've had this full set on my fat pig of a 2018 CrewMax and have been very impressed with their performance. If you have the means, I highly recommend you picking one up...

    Maybe you can tell me if you have 406.4mmx 30mm slotted and drilled front rotors for 18 Tundra 4x4?

    I received an email back from Wilwood however they do not have anything available, they did give me an email for Fast Brakes which can build and package 6-8 weeks out. Thank you Wilwood.
    Everything on the truck is stock. I purchased as the second owner and the truck looks and feels like the person before me took great care of her. However, I am a bit more aggressive. The "TRD" sticker on the side of the truck is a go-ahead and turn this thing up. LOL Right!? So it seems there is a kit that can be built that would include 16" or 406.4mm rotors. If I am looking for something a bit more quick guessing that I am looking at the 13.94" rotor. Correct? Meaning that the stock wheel will stay in place for a few. With prices,well...
    Anyway if any of you have some secret spot or site please advise. TIA

    Thank you. I found a kit/package that will need to be built for a bit cheaper by about 2000.00 Have a great day
