    I'm coming due for a new set of brakes in the near future. I always do new rotors with pads. On my previous Taco, a 2nd gen, I went through 2 sets of the Stage 3 EBC Greenstuff pads/rotors that I was quite happy with, but it's been about 5 years since my last brake change. I'm hoping to hear nothing has changed of late. Anyone have experience with the Greenstuff package of pads/rotors on the 3rd gen more recently?? All for normal driving on a boring stock setup, but I found that the venting on the stage 3 kit helped with some of my more aggressive braking that resulted in some warping on the stock setup.

    Barring any negative feedback or suggestion for another brand's brake package, any suggestion for a reputable site with a good deal?

    I used EBC slotted, and drilled rotors on my 2001 tundra, but didn't go with any of their brake pads. I did try some semi metallic pads, but didn't like them...they were noisy, and needed a lot more heat to work like normal. I changed them out for the stock toyota ceramic pads. They performed extremely well with the EBC rotors.

    I went with Powerstop Z36 pads on Dynamic Friction drilled and slotted rotors from rockauto.com. I spend a lot of time driving in water and found this combo to be great. Stops 34's without issue. I have 28,000 miles on them and the pads still look new.
