    So the truck is pushing 180,000 miles and I can hear some squeaking in the brakes, not to mention they are getting pretty low, and I'm looking at replacing pads and rotors. What do you guys use? My last car was a 350z with a brembo big brake kit so I had to get my brake pads from there. I'm just looking to see what the most popular brake pad seems to be for our trucks. I'm planning on just going to get the rotors from Autozone.

    Check this out. Chas is a good guy to deal with and the price is good. I suggest EBC stage 3, or 4 depending on your driving style.

    Make sure when you get the rotors to check them before you leave. They sold me 5 lug rotors and got home and after I had everything torn apart I opened the boxes to see it. If you're going to deal with AZ go see Jerry at Western Avenue. He also consequently drives a tacoma.

    Send Chas a PM or an email and he will send you a link to what you want, his prices are pretty good and the customer service is great.

    I roll the stage 5 and LOVE THEM.

    once I added a good 100hp to the truck, stopping was a big hurdle and the stage 5 took care of this
