I've got these brake pads and rotors with 4runner calipers on my truck and, with some muscle on the brake pedal, it's about everything i'd want out of brakes and i plan to but haven't even done the booster upgrade and proportioning valve like you mentioned. Only downside is they make absolute tons of dust and noise. Like ringing every time you hit em below 30 mph unless they're HOT hot. Which i kinda like (racetruck shit ) but it's a factor you gotta deal with. You'll probably need 17s or thin 16s for them to fit but that balances out with tire options and prices

 

Do you have a picture of what you did with the abs?

 

That is a picture of what I did to the ABS
What are you looking for exactly??
Here is a pic of the ABS computer. You can take the ABS module and split it in half, the computer part has a nice oring gasket, so I made an aluminum plate to bolt the computer to and then literally just velcro'd the whole thing to my fender well. You can see the ABS plug on the right side. If this is not what your looking for...give me some more detail.

 

They scoring your rotors? Had those pads with brembo rotors and it made them all grooved up.

 

Some useless travel on my buddies truck today

 

Okay thats what i was looking for. Thanks man
yea I should have asked if you had a picture of what's left of the abs to make it work still lol

 

Sorta, but it's fairly even wear so far. I don't think it's much more or less damage than any pad this aggressive would normally do. But it think that's how it's meant to be. From what i've seen and read, pretty much all high-performance brakes wear the rotor about as much if not more than the pad. Most racecars these days have dry breaks to the caliper for easy swaps of the rotor

 

I hadn’t researched the rotor / pad combo - I bought them in the parts for sale forum where a guy was selling them, so the pads might have not been a good match for the particular rotors. Went to Vatozone specials after that and been ok so far.

Seen a lot of those dry breaks on luxury builds. Sweet. When they make a more affordable version we’ll maybe get some too haha

 

the wilwood ones are far more reasonable than the staubli though they only come in -3 male jic. i'm gonna be adding a couple some time in the near future.

 

Never said it was useless travel bud. I’m sure you guys will be properly strapping it! Actually been considering ordering the DMZ kit soon!

 

lol….was just messin with you. I know what you meant.

 

Those shackles are like 2x the size compared to my DMZ kit. Huh weird

 

What are you guys covering up your bed cuts with? Or just leave wide open?

my bed is wide open at the shocks, but I had some aluminum cut/bent to semi cover the area. Debating adding some rubber in areas to keep grime/mud sling down. noticed a rock chip in the rear window hence the other reason I’m trying to add coverage. Not as clean as some of the welded sheet metal work I’ve seen but o well

 

Did you happen to post a picture lately of your kit? I saw a pic not to long ago and thought the shackles looked very short for a DMZ kit

 

Y’all see izzyfab accidentally pogo sticked his Chevy?
Big yikes
Hella lucky

 

Yeah that's the DMZ kit I picked up

 

From where?

 

Uh oh....ya..that aint right. Guess you could email Tim at DMZ and see if he ever made them that small. Hopefully you didnt get screwed.

 

I bought it from Travis flowers. You've probably seen his truck on Instagram lol

 

Yeah I just sent him an email
