Tacoma 2017 Brakes

Up north we need coated rotors.
I've been using Raybestos Element3 rotors and pads for a bit. A set on RockAuto is $70 for rotors and pads.
They're nothing special, but give noise free braking similar to OEM.
I haven't used their drums or shoes, but the rear brakes on a Tacoma last forever.

 

Call around, and ask for this lathe by name.

The drive is torqued to spec on the wheel studs. It cuts the rotor to true under tension simulating the wheel in place and torqued.

Cuts very little off rotor.

 

I've used Wagner Thermo-quiet Ceramic on all my vehicles. Love 'em.

 

I wondering about that as well. When I had my gen 2 I did 3 or 4 sets of front pads and replaced rotors once but never needed to to the rears and had 170K miles on it when I sold it.

 

i spent a total of $120 in parts for front pads/springs/pins/bolts and did it myself in about an hour, one of the easiest brake jobs i have done, 65k on the front pads and have not replaced the rear shoes since they usually last much longer, will check the next time i rotate tires. watch videos on it and do it yourself.

I got 85O00 km on fronts mostly in town. I guess pretty good
