What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I know I'm late but here is a pic of just the fogs. I think the right still needs to be adjusted

 

cost wise how do these compare to stock replacements? have you found any real benefits?

 

Unless you are the most aggressive Tacoma driver on the forum the rotors offer no benefits. And duralast gold ceramic pads, while not a bad pad are just standard Bosch ceramic. It's purely aesthetic.

 

oh i can feel you there brother believe me. type 2 and i can't get this crap regulated to save my ass. they started me on insulin about 4 months ago plus 4 oral meds. one morning it'll be over 200 the next 140's

 

thanks questions answered

 

I'm type 1 but if you need help with anything feel free to message me. Doctors don't know what they are talking about 1/2 the time. They don't live with it.

 

Installed mine. Your going to like them.

 

Interested in the sumo Springs. Wondering why people chose them over the ride rites. Let us know how they work!

 

Maintenance free. No air lines.

 

I have $180 in the rotors from Amazon. $38 in the pads from autozone.


Best bang for the buck brake job on a tacoma. The slots give you just a little better initial bite, the ceramic handles the heat better, and the pads create virtually no dust.

 

They have the plates installed.

Ordered them from autoplicity for $170. They came from Illinois to Maryland in two days UPS

 

nice I was looking at those the other day

 

I have a 2012 Tacoma SR5 Prerunner. I changed my OEM steel wheels to the Ranger wheels and new tires, which I got from Discount Tires. I also changed the OEM front and rear shocks to the Bilstein 5100 shocks and they are amazing. These new shocks will help stabilize my truck when pulling my new 2017 Forest River Roo 19 trailer.

 

Ceramic doesn't handle heat as well a semi met. They are actually not recommended for towing or high heat applications.

 

They handle the heat better than the stock pads is what i'm saying.

Nothing handled the heat like my yellow stuff EBCs did. But they lasted 12k and created enough brake dust to choke out a large village.

 

Noisy too probably. I've used the DLast gold pads back when I worked for AZ. They were solid. Best combo I've used so far is Centric Blanks with wagner thermo quiets.

 

I can hear them with the windows down, but not over my tire howl lol

 

Its like a fuzzy buzzing sound.

I'd like to find a better pad that isn't a bunch more money and creates as much or less dust than these. Some how i just feel like its not going to exist

 

So myself and a few other folks had a little meet today, in CT, and got sprayed!



@surfandturf hooked up a few of us, so big shout out to him. Got the undercarriage sprayed. From closest to furthest in the pic we have @dcorbalis, @jc11taco89, myself, @tgriff and @surfandturf.
