Tacoma Brakes Thumbs Down

Maybe the drum brakes are giving you a thumbs down. I upgraded my front brakes and this b***h stops just fine. I know a guy who makes a badass custom brake pad if you’re interested.

 

Really speaks to how repetitive this crap is.

While I understand your point, I offer a counter.


Ive been in the automotive industry for just over 15 years. Engineers do some pretty stupid shit from time to time.

 

this is new

 

There are always errors and bad decisions. Management, engineers, techs, and bean counters.



Regardless, we got trolled by the OP, so it is all irrelevant.

 

Well i've seen more with the management listning to their bean counters.

 

Yeah but can you lock each wheel individually and does it trigger your rear view camera anytime mod while doing so?

 

Thats an entire other volume of the novel. A friend of the family was lead on the project for the 2008 Gt500. I heard horror stories about him having almost physical fights with company accountants.

 

Brembo, yucky

 

Ive had good luck with Brembos. Except for the OEM Mitsubishi Brembo rebuild kits were almost as much as a new caliper.

 

They are ok for most street uses, just weak. If you want real performance brakes, check out PFC Brakes. Blows Brembo out the water.

 

Hrmm, I guess I overpaid for that factory mod and should have gone aftermarket. I seem to be missing some features. I need to have a word with my Toyota dealer.

 

Oh I know there are better on the market. I never did any road course racing with Brembos but my Evo IX had factory Brembos with EBC yellow stuff pads and had multiple shutdowns from 140+ without issue.

 

So true. that itchy is sour grapes butt hurt for sure. He reminds me of that smitty99 crybaby

 

I'm just tired of the repetitive "Rachel" and "Applebee's" allegories.
Like, bro, we get it. You have a crush on Jennifer Anniston.
