Brake pads and rotors recommendations

Hi all,

I have a 2017 Tacoma sport and I’m having bad vibrations while braking from 45mph, I know I could probably have them turned but I have read from others that have had that done and the vibration is still there so I was thinking that it would just be best to replace pads and rotors no to mention I would just do the work myself and save money.


Thanks

 

For the best Pads you can get, Performance Friction (PFC) - 0976.20
You will have to order thru O’Reillys (or another PFC distributor).

I don’t have a rotor suggestion as we (PFC) don’t offer rotors currently for our trucks. My suggestion for rotors is to stay away from drilled rotors. Slotted or nothing. Drilled rotors have more tendency to crack.

 

I've use Raybestos Element3 rotors/pads with good results. Seem equal to OEM. Rotor coating holds up well to prevent rust.
976H980670E3 rotor/pad kit on RockAuto is $78

 

If you go OEM again, you'll get about the same milage as u got out of your stockers, now. For me personally, I'd go totally OEM, or for bump in performance, get the @crashnburn80 special, trd pro pads and stoptech rotors, could be remembering wrong though.
