    I planned on getting everything from the toyota dealer but $400 per caliper is a little ridiculous. Anone have luck with rebuilds from auto zone or napa? Or should I look for oem online somewhere? Also I plan on using wheeler's steel braided lines l, should I change the rear brake line to a braided line while I'm at it?

    Many folks have use Napa or other with no issues. Just need to make sure to get the right diameter.

    Last time I checked, Camelback sells them for $285 ea.

    I went with the advanced auto calipers since they were running a special. They are all pretty much the same. You could get some oem ones from a junkyard and get a rebuild kit from the dealer.

    yep just use the auto store aftermarket replacement calipers and hubs for tundra, no need for oem originals unless you can source them for cheap

    EDIT: but im sure you might need to get the oem caliper brackets itself

    Napa eclipse. They are coated already so no need to coat them yourself. A lot of the other brands aren't coated and will rust without a coating.
