    OEM rotors are garbage. Mine warped after 30k. I went with PowerStop drilled and slotted!

    Those are very good rotors, not cheap knock-offs. Usually they're about 3 times that price!!! I don't even need any right now but might buy those for the future at that price. You should have no issues whatsoever with those and that's a hell of a price!

    Those aren't "budget" rotors, that's just a slammin' price on them! I'd put those up against just about any rotor on the market.

    It's pretty common knowledge that rotors dont warp, they just wear unevenly. It's a myth that I wish would die.
    PS: Zero chance you saw warped rotors on MANY vehicles. I bet you didnt even see it on one vehicle, lol. DO you know how much energy it takes to warp cast iron, a shit load more then a brake pad could exert.

    Been running these on my 4R for a few years now with heavy offroad use and light towing use, they work great.

    They're usually $125+ a pair, $250+ a set. You'll be happy with them. Make sure you bed them in properly!

    Didn't mean to offend, it's all relative though bro. I paid close to a grand for my front rotors:IMG_20180206_220937_01.jpg

    5 hard stops from 40-10 then 5 mild stops from 35-5. 5 min cool off period. They’re feeling pretty nice so far. I’ll get a better feel for them on the way to work tomorrow. Also a tip. a skid plate bolt is perfect to use for dislodging the rotors if your but and bolt can is lacking. 12mm socket required

    No offense! :thumbsup:
    Those are nice but in all honesty, completely unnecessary for a Tacoma for 99.9% of people.
    If I had those I'd always coast to a stop so I didn't use them up!

    Did you guys get Brembo brakes too, or just keep the OEM pads?

    Haha that's part of why I got my calipers in red, I have to remind myself they are the redheaded stepchildren of truck parts even if they are expensive and nice to look at, and then beat on them accordingly when the opportunity presents itself :burnrubber:

    I installed these on my truck with the matching heavy duty pads a little over a year ago and haven't been overly impressed. If/ when I do it again, I won't be going back to these. Braking performance felt dull. Not an improvement over stock IMO
