Front Brake Replacement Kit?

Need to desperately replace the front pads & rotors on my 2003 4x4. One of my calipers needs to be replaced so I am just going to replace both at the same time. Was wondering if there are any good kits that will come with all three of these things, open to stock options as well as upgraded parts (Heard good things about powerstop rotors and hawk pads), not sure which route to go with calipers though and don't want to do the tundra brake upgrade. Any help is appreciated!

 

Check at RockAuto -several choices also check out EBC Brakes & Rotors

 

Any reason you don't want to upgrade to tundra brakes?

 

I recently replaced with Centric re-conditioned calipers, Centric premium rotors, and Posi-quiet pads. Works good with no issues.

 

X2, its my most favorite mod ive done to my truck.

 

I've seen people use this kit right here. I used a different Tundra 13WL set up.

my kit is in the mail

 

Honestly I just want something that I know will work and be easy when putting on the truck. Not sure if I'll be keeping my current truck or not when I get a 3rd gen next year so I don't want to modify things much further at this time. If everything goes as planned I'll be able to keep my 1st gen and get a 3rd gen

 

tundra brakes are bolt on same as factory.

only thing is youl have to drill the banjo bolt out a little if ure using stock line.

 

It's all bolt on in exception of trimming the brake dust cover.

 

that too.


mine rusted off long ago so no worries there

 

Which brake lines is everybody using? Does the stock tundra line bolt up?

 

use these from wheelers offroad

 

Is this the kit most people use? I've priced up tundra brakes from oreilys/advanced and it's about the same price. Any input?

 

Thats what I used

 

People use all kinds of different 13WL calipers. Like Napa, plus the ones you've mentioned. I got lucky and found a guy who was parting out his truck. It already had the Tundra upgrade on it, so we cut my dust covers and he helped me install it. There are still some good people out there! He had all OEM components and the @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc brake lines mentioned above. I figured since I installed new front brake lines, I'd go ahead and replace the one rear brake line that our 1st gens have. But I bought it from this guy.

@OCTaco great guy to work with.

 

Did the brake lines fit or did you have to drill them out like stated above?

 

They fit perfect, no drilling. The only thing I had to modify was the dust plate and minimal at that.

 

No aftermarket 15” wheels I take it

 

16in wheels I had factory wheels first and they fit fine and now I habe SCS F5 wheels and they fine too. The pic is with the SCS wheels.
