    I went with Stop Tech cryro/slotted, SS lines, and EBC pads. Not as significant improvement as I was expecting (coming from a sports car perspective, I thought the SS lines would improve pedal feel much more), but definitely noticed the improvement on a couple "oh sh*t" stops here in the city. Haven't noticed any fade in light offoading in the Sierras this summer.

    I have this guys 345mm kit and it works great. Slightly softer pedal but brakes are great if you have something other than an X-Runner probably won't even notice a pedal change... http://www.performancebrakesunlimited.com

    Just reviving this thread, because I recently became a dealer for Powerbrake, and their big brake kit is by far the last braking upgrade you’ll ever need to do. For so long I had considered a rear disc brake conversion and after installing these things, the stopping power is INSANE.
    Just figured I’d throw it out there

    that’s good to know, I was hoping I would see something like this. My brakes are due and I’ve been eyeing some of the kits from Rock Auto. I did Powerstop Vented and drilled rotors and ceramic pads on my parents 06 V6 RAV4 and it made a massive improvement. Also a brake flush with high temp fluid.
