    As far as “kit”. I have had good luck with my PowerStop kit.

    ADVICS is the OEM supplier. (If you want to save a few bucks)
    That is if you want to go back with OE pads?

    I have had great luck with Wagner rotors and pads, but would use Akebono pads instead. OEM is great too. I tried Powerstop on my 4runner and they were some of the worst I have ever had. That was a few years ago so maybe they have gotten better.

    OEM is fine, Wagner has been my choice for aftermarket for many years.

    Unless doing a serious upgrade like the photo below, I seriously recommend OEM. I went with something else and got warping within 10,000 miles. Back to OEM and all good.

    If you decide OEM consider ordering the parts online. You will save ~30-40% over "walking" into a parts dept.

    4 run, 2 don't
    EBC greens stop on a dime although they create a lot of dust

    Akebano would get my vote if you forego EBC

    I'm not the OP, but I'm heading out now for brakes all around at 90K on a stock '17 Limited. After traveling the Great Smokies for the past 7 years, up & down mountains, the rotors are talking back to me and the rear shoes are at 2MM.
