    Anyone have these on? See any improvement? I'm thinking of going this route or go with the StopTech Big Brake that Big J mentioned. It's $4K but it's a complete front and rear.

    this is the wrong kit.
    you need trd kit PTR09-00150.
    front bbk with 16" one piece rotors and 6 piston caliper.
    trd does not have a bbk for the rear that i'm aware of.

    This would be correct. :thumbsup:

    Would all 20” wheels clear the TRD front kit? I couldn’t find much detail on TRD website about what clears those 16” rotors.

    Pretty much all 20” rims will clear the trd bbk except for the bbs rims Toyota offered a few years back.

    Thanks for all the information and suggestions.
    This can be very confusing. I finally decided to go with the Power Stop Z36, mainly because they come as a kit and matched together.
    Centric would have been my choice but I couldn't decided on which pads to choose and I was tired of researching and taking up you guys times with more questions.

    I will report back here ones I get them installed and tested.

    Thanks again for all your help.

    I have an itch and the TRD brake upgrade would definitely STOP it. :rofl:

    Any other info on the Rotora kit? Did a quick search and haven’t found anything about them on our tundras. Curious how they stack up against some of the more we’ll known brands and if they are worth what they’re priced at. Thankyou

    had mine for about 10k mi and all is great.no braking noise and smooth stops with a firm pedal.happy i put those on.they blow the trd bbk out of the water.front pads are a bit more than 1/3 worn so figure they're good for about 25 to 30k miles max.very little dust and it comes right off the wheels.
    experiencing slight piston knock back following hard cornering but nothing bad.just a slightly longer pedal travel during first application.
    also have a bit of noise from rear brakes in the morning when backing up.this goes away as soon as you apply the brakes one time and i think it comes from the parking brake shoes.i should back off the adjuster a little bit.
    no fade,no pulsing.just smooth braking action.definitely worth the price.

    Thankyou sir, appreciate the info. Just ordered the same kit. Any install tips or things I should know before putting them on? Kit I got is red but I’ll probably have them painted or powder coated to match my truck, are they pretty easy to disassemble?

    Bones any update on these brakes? I'm considering putting them on to replace worn OEM as well. Did you just do rotors and pads or did you get the package with calipers too?

    Sorry for the delay in updating but life has been busy.
    I have been running the brakes for a few months now and its like it was new again. I have no regrets going with the Z36 kit.

    So if I tow daily, offroad often and city drive I should get what Brake kit front and rear? I dont want to get bigger brake or spend more then 1K for the total set up.
