Upgrading Brakes

I just did this upgrade, took a while to find the S13WL calipers but finally found them. even got a set of S13WE for free because of some *bay mistake. also used brembo standard rotors. and Akebono Ceramics Pro ACTs.
I bought the Toyota OEM S13WE caliper rebuild Kit but was pleasantly surprised that i was able to use them with my S13WL too! and the kit came as a pair and was cheaper than the WL kit! go figure....
the 01 TRD rims fit fine with no scraping. the stock 01 steel rims wont tho. but if you have the stock steel rims from the 05. those will fit. same ones that the tundra uses.
Installation only took 5hrs for me. prepping took longer (8hrs total?). it could be half the time but i was taking my time to do everything right.
Before i did my upgrade my brakes were really shaking the front so bad even at just 40mph. and I'm glad i did. the next day i had a chance to do a emergency stop infront of some *&%(@#$% driver. smoke was coming from the tires... now its real smooth. no more shaking. remember to break in the rotors! also bleed the brakes while ur at it.

Good Luck.

The green stuff pads and duralast rotors are a great combo! Really pleased with their performance!
