    I have a 05 Tacoma and after lift/tires (34”) it’s really suffering in the braking department. Anyone have any experience with the power stop kits? The Z36 kit with rotors,pads and calibers is less than $400, it would be a good time for some longer brake lines as well. Is the kit a improvement or a waste of money? Any other suggestions?

    I have the 6-piston StopTech kit with 340mm rotors up front, stock drums in the rear.

    they work way better than I need as I am only about 500lbs over stock.
    My wheels are 21lbs and tires are 43lbs, so not super heavy rotational weight either.

    I’d recommend looking into the 4Runner/Lexus brake upgrade and buy remanufactured calipers from Napa to save a few bucks.

    The next level up would be the “normal” 4-piston BBK upgrade from StopTech.
