Big brake specifications? (What are they)

venomous_x · 08-23-2009, 07:56 AM

Big brake specifications? (What are they) Ok, I've decided to go rim shopping yet again for another set and this time I want to prepare for the inevitable and make sure I have the clearance for the big brake kit. Who if anyone here might have the specifications for the trd kit regarding rotor diameter caliber sizing and dimensions? I've tried looking around but haven't really found anything concrete on all of the big brake kits available on the market

Any help is more than appreciated.

upgrade the rear to disc...forget the big brake kit...its over 2 grand...invest in some slotted/cross drilled rotors, some better pads and call it good.

interesting...I still think the money is better spent elsewhere...but this is for an x-runner...so maybe he wants to fly into corners and brake late

actually at that point I just want something more visibly appealing than the drums. I dont ride my truck hard so braking isn't very much an issue but the main reason for the question was for rims and tires

Thanks for the replys guys
