    Didn't know there were TRD rotors. The pads are pretty expensive are they not?

    The trd labeling on an otherwise common part already on a manufacturers shelf.

    I went to the dealer yesterday to get a part and asked about pads and rotors. There are TRD performance rotors. The parts lady said in 16 years she has never ordered one set. The rotors are directional for increased airflow and slotted. Does anyone know anything more about the rotors other than they are about $400 apiece?

    Who manufactures the rotors?
    Who what the rotor design is? experience with the rotor?

    They have them for the tacoma and the 4R larger sized.

    There was a TRD big brake kit, which I believe was a rebranded StopTech kit. They don’t make it under TRD anymore though. $400/rotor would be about right at dealer pricing.
