    Anyone use the fast Source Tundra caliper and rotor Kit from E-bay on your Tacoma?
    They look good and seem to have a decent rating.
    Thx MrSpidy

    Me too but was hoping someone here had used Fast Source products and could give an opinion. Guess I might be the first. Thx

    Brakes are critically important, therefore I wouldn't replace genuine OEM parts with EBAY crap IMHO

    Will they accept your caliper cores in exchange? They won't be the same ones they are sending you...
    Does the cost include a prepay on the core shipping? or will you have to pay extra to get back your core charge?

    No reviews raises a red flag with me, but I don't shop ebay...

    I used NAPA remans with R1 Concepts rotors and pads. NAPA had no problems taking in as cores the Taco calipers. Looks like sourcing each part will cost ~ $300.00

    Looking at this from a cost standpoint, the ~$250.00 price is enticing ;-)

    Given any consideration to finding some used calipers and rebuilding them?

    I would also encourage you to replace the rubber brake lines with stainless steel

    I asked the seller about taking the Tacoma calipers. Waiting for a response.

    The reviews on e-bay are very good with just a couple of exceptions.
    I also agree brakes are very important, however many auto parts stores sell millions of non OEM equipment.

    Hence the reason I asked the question.

    At this price I was not sure if I would even turn in the cores, but if you did there is a $69 return.
    This would make the cost about $177 for a much bigger brake on the Tacoma.
    I have looked into buying used and rebuilding but you end up paying more by the time your done, and of course don't end up with OEM.

    Thanks All! MrSpidy
