Stoptech Big Brake Kit Group Buy 2005-2017 Tacoma and Others

The invoice for the slotted rotors, brake lines and pads was $167, came straight from StopTech. The only other part was two ST-60 calipers. Nothing was custom.

 

For my BBK, the important part was the adapter bracket so the stoptech caliper can actually fit onto the spindle and line up to the disc properly. That's where the magic happens.

I went with the SOS Performance kit because it is all inclusive and bolt on. Unless you are a fabricator/machinist, the price is fair considering the downtime of your truck and labor charges to fab up custom adapters to fit the off the shelf BBK parts.

 

You are totally right. And you too @Hawk373
In my delirium from a lack of sleep I forgot about the adapter that came with the calipers. That must be custom as it connects the caliper onto the oem bracket with the new nut & bolts provided. I take back what I said. No wonder big brake kits are so expensive.

Anyways I’m excited to get rid of the abs code and have the truck fully bled with a solid brake pedal again.. hopefully this mini techstream off Amazon does the trick.

 

Found calipers for $900 a side https://www.zeckhausen.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=St 60 caliper&sort=4d&page=5

 

Kit it is. I’ll let you know how everything works out on mine and what the brakes feel like once I get it all finished.

 

Has anyone had experience with both this bbk and tacomas that have had the 4runner caliper and rotor exchange in front?

 

Well, the kit is on, the bleed is done *finally*


Fitment on OEM 16'' Wheels Confirmed


Needed to make a custom master cylinder reservoir adapter for the brake bleeder...don't ever buy a Motive product to bleed Toyota brakes..


Overall I'm happy! Better braking than stock. Still doesn't feel like my Evo felt with those all around Brembos, but it's a start and I'm much more confident in stopping the truck which was my goal. Money well spent. Good luck to everyone else getting this kit and utilizing the discount code which still works.

 

After about a week of driving around, I can definitely tell a difference in braking. So much smoother now. I still need to get my rear drums serviced. I want to do the rear disc conversion, but not sure when I'll be able to get around to it. A little more hesitant on that one with the master cylinder replacement needed. Also can't stand to do parking brake pads. The springs give me so much hell.

 

me....

 

Do you or anybody else hear rubbing with this kit on 16”s? I noticed a sound today with my windows down while driving straight by the beach at low speeds. Haven’t had time to test if it still makes the sounds during turns. It doesn’t sound like it did when it was stock and it’s annoying for sure.

 

no rubbing, but i have the '14 TRD rims.

 

Nice rims. From what I can see you have a bit more clearance than I do. Sigh, guess I’ll be taking the wheels off again soon and figuring this one out! Lol

 

Did you trim the dust plate back as far as you could? I trimmed as much as I could off mine.

 

Subbed

 

I have both front and rear SOS kits on my 2010 X-Runner. I will be doing the master upgrade here soon but even without it the truck stops much better than stock. Tom from SOS has always been a pleasure to deal with and will back his products.

 

This is what I use for my Tacoma with the Motive brake bleeder, works fine IMO

What Tacoma do you have? That didn’t work for my screw on cap.

 

I trimmed it down to maybe an inch around on all sides. There is definitely rubbing on both sides. What could be rubbing? I really want to check but don’t have much time on my hands

 

1. pull off tire
2. spin brake rotor by hand.
3a. if no rubbing noise, then rubbing is possibly caused by tire/wheel combo. (Check brake caliper or the inner wheel barrel for rub marks)
3b. if there is rubbing noise, then rubbing is caused by bbk parts or possible installation error. (recheck parts/install process for clearance issue)

If you've put some miles on your truck after the BBK install, there should be telltale signs of rub marks somewhere. If you are using 16" wheels with a BBK, there's minimal clearance already. Just because one particular style of 16" wheel may clear a BBK, doesn't mean any/all other 16" wheels will do the same. In fact, my new(ish) 17" wheel didn't clear my BBK when my old 17" (FN wheel) did without a problem.
