    Have a 07 DC 4x4 Tacoma and not loving the brakes, feel spongy.

    Any one upgraded the brake system or know of company’s offering upgrades?

    Car and Driver just had an article about this truck and mentioned the brakes, the used power stop I believe and liked the results.

    steel braided lines help get rid of that spoungy feel. The rubber hoses flex/expand when pressure is applied.
