Front brake job

So I need to do front brakes. I watched videos on it and feel it is something I can handle.

Mainly looking to see if everyone is staying with a toyota stock pads and rotors? Or if aftermarket is preferred. Am honestly impressed with current stock setup so may stay with it or change just pads to aftermarket with stock rotors

 

Personally I would stick with OEM pads, rotors you can go with after market.

Just my 2 cents

 

I am using stock (original) rotors and installed a set of Wagner Severe Duty Brakes pads on the front...the rears still look good at 65K.

Rears should look good because the lion's share of the braking is done up front.

As far as OEM vs aftermarket: if it ain't broke...

 

What are the part numbers for the front pads and rotors for a 2012 sport?

 

Also not sure if it matters or if I should upgrade but instead of stock tires I have Lt265/70/17s. So more tire than stock. Should I get stock rotors and ebc pads?

 

only replace your rotor if they need replacing...and virtually any premium brake pad should work for you. I have used EBC on motorcycles for decades, but like the Wagner Severe duty on light trucks.

You say OEM Stock Pads have worked fine so far. Why change? OEM stock.

New pads so soon on a 2012? How many miles?

 

I just put the EBC yellowstuff pads on my 08 for towing and it really made a huge difference in how the truck stops. Just got back from a 800mile trip towing a 3700lbs trailer and I was throughly impressed with the braking power of the pads.

You must be hard on brakes...

 

Work mids with lots of highway. Also occasionally respond to ems calls. Also been haulinh a lot recently. A few times overloaded. Might be a little hard on them

 

Also have bigger tires now that r LT. So bigger heavier tire prob doesn't help
