Thoughts? My buddy with a toyota contract says OEM or nothing. But of course he would

Thanks. Interesting read. Drilled = bad. Got it. (And a lot of common sense science I hadnt thought of, very nice post)

With the price my buddy quoted me on OEM (nine can beat his prices,) I told him to just order em for me.

 

I installed those with the oem pads on my 2001 tundra after warping 2 sets of brake rotors. The difference was night, and day. No more warped rotors, or worn brake pads in 20k miles. Stops were so much better. I didn't but these from summit, but the cost was about the same.
As far as the tacoma, it seems the stock setup is pretty decent, not needing any aftermarket brakes.

 

There both wrong.

I can tell you from my experience with those ebc drilled, and slotted rotors...they flat out work a ton better than the stock solid rotors. I even ran them in short stretch's of mud everyday on my 2 mile road during the winter, and spring months. I've heard the choice of pads can lead to poor performance with these rotors but, i used the stock toyota brake pads. I checked them with nearly 90k miles on these...plenty of brake pad material was still left.
