Orange County CAF's: up to no good

So I've heard. A few times. Haha. I sure know how to pick em.
OH WHALE.

 

@dtaco06 interesting. I've also heard "organic" pads squeal like a mother fucker?

 

I'm a bit partial to EBC green stuff on stock rotors to help stop the 33's a bit better. No squeaking and very low dust. You can do brakes in the driveway to save some coin unless you have a hookup on labor.

 

No I haven't. Worth it?

@dtaco06 hmm should I just go with disc brakes *FROM AUTOZONE all around? @MadTaco461 How much do EBC's run?
I wasn't planning on taking them to a shop. Quotes I've received are a little unreasonable. I have a few friends that could help me out in my driveway.

 

Alrightey thanks for the input! I haven't researched good brakes for Tacomas yet sooo I'm clueless.

It sounds a bit more involved than I figured but if you're up to the challenge! I'd say it's probably best if you're a heavy overlander and thickly armored... based on your avatar you probably don't have to go that route.

 

Haha

 

@spacecat

Lol I got no room to talk on the girls I've dated in the past.

A bit over 60 for fronts. Go get your friends to help you with the fronts. Shops charge too much for brakes. Plus it pretty fun to do disc brakes. You get to take a rubber mallet and beat the crap out of parts you get to throw away and look like you just got out of a coal mine. I just run Autozone rotors.

6 month 5000mi? What's so great about these again?

 

Hahaha I knew I wasn't the only one here who could have questionable ex's.

Haha okay, thanks! Actually kinda looking forward to replacing my brakes for the first time :b Should be interesting.

Edit: I'M SURE EVERYONE HERE HAS QUESTIONABLE EX'S ahha

 

I saw that too. I've just gone off reviews when I first bought them. Well I got some pretty hard stops on them. EBC is a pretty big brand name though. I get about 30-40k out of them. I even installed them on my dad's truck which pulls a 12,000lb horse trailer

DO IT. Pretty relaxing to do and pretty doable on the difficulty level. Anything maintenance I recommend. Besides rear drum brakes and changing a head gasket. I hate head gaskets on overhead cam vehicles.

 

Nah the trucks are better, they dont get mad at your or break your stuff if you try to upgrade

Hence why I dont date too often

Wait wait wait, why aren't you wheeling the 98 . Also research the tundra brake mod, I've heard it brought up numerous times as being better than our brakes

 

I can confirm how much both suck

 

I saw a 94 4runner for sale earlier when I was driving around for like 1600 , reminded me of ya

 

How's it coming along. As bad as my cage? Might need to switch to working on it at night with these heat waves coming in.

 

I've made good progress. My biggest issue is money. Needs to be insured, registered and smogged once I get it done, plus the last couple parts I need. If I had had just a little more money saved up it would've been done already. Lesson learned, don't take girls on expensive dates

 

I knew young and broke when I was your age. Get a cougar to take you out. They buy young guys drinks. I know you don't drink, but they treat you. Just be kinda an ass and over confident. It will freak you out at first.

 

Kinda an ass and over confident? I think most on here would agree I already got that down

I'm sure having the Firebird will help too. Give them that nostalgic feeling from when they were young

 

I couldn't handle it when I was young. That was pretty far over my head. Plus I was pretty shy.
