    Sent! Akebono/Brembo just arrived today, I see what the hype is all about now they're extremely well machined. Will be assembling them tomorrow. Thanks man, I cant make any excuse to go cheap on brakes anymore

    Does Akebono make brake shoes for the rear? Did a Google search but all I see are pads.

    Interesting to see support for PowerStop, I did both powder coated drums and rotors, Raybestos pads/shoes. I don't have a preference when it comes to brand, it's more the composition of the material, usually I go for ceramics. Maybe they wear out faster, maybe they don't, I usually get 2 - 4 years out of the pads and much longer out of the shoes.

    I replaced my pads using the following parts (after a lot of searching for the best pads):

    Pads, AdvanceAuto, Advic, Part Number N10101456304 ADVPS534, Cost: $61

    Ask me how I like them in 2028 if I'm still alive.

    The tundra brake mod is 100X better than any stock sized pad or rotor replacement combination out there.

    Bilstein 5100’s with ome 881 coils on lowest setting, JBA upper control arms, LCE header, 31x10.5x15 falken wildpeaks.
    Are they a direct bolt on or is there modifications required?

    what size wheel do you need minimum for the tundra upgrade? And is the tundra upgrade a direct bolt on or modifications required?

    Because the LCE kit is inferior.

    • 13WE Calipers vs 13WL Calipers. You want the larger 13WL caliper.

    so with the 13WL you need you need shims. The 13WE you don’t?

    Not sure what shim you are talking about, but both calipers are a drop-in fit. The 13WL calipers will allow you to fit a larger pad.

    That is referencing the shims that attach to the brake pads. They are actually anti-squeal shims, so all brake pads use them.
