    Where can I order brakes (front & rear) from, like a one-stop shop? Last time I ordered brakes I used Wheeler's Offroad but they no longer sell brakes. They said that they need the shelf space for other items.

    I am currently looking at http://brakeperformance.com/

    Is there a setup that is better then stock? Like can I put Tundra brakes on my truck (easily) or something. I am also looking at the StopTech stuff.


    A little info on my trunk
    I have:
    2008 Tacoma
    Larger wheels and tires - 15 to 17's
    3 inch lift/leveling kit - Wheeler's offroad
    heavy duty rear bumper - All-Pro Offroad

    Would love to do a big brake kit and/or rear disc conversion but those are a bit out of my price range.

    Try an EBC kit.
    And forget a rear disc conversion, i hear they INCREASE stopping distance.

    That is why I liked Wheelers offroad. Didn't have to look at 50 different products of the same item all saying that they improve over stock or what not.
