    Hey there everyone. Looks like I’m going to need to replace my front brakes shortly. What’s everyone liking these days? Cross-drilled and slotted rotors more then likely, but any brands that are your favorite?

    I just picked up my front brake upgrade...2010-2015 4Runner front brakes.

    Raybestos R-300 S Groove rotors,
    Powerstop 14WA calipers,
    Centric Stainless steel lines and
    4Runner dust shields.
    Still deciding on pads.

    This will give a 13" front rotor that are thicker and larger pistons in the calipers. It will help me when I tow my travel trailer or when driving mountain roads with camping gear. The nice thing it is all bolt one.

    I followed @crashnburn80's recommendations on rotors and pads, and they've been fantastic. In particular, the TRD pads have been great. I would 100% do it again.

    How many miles did you get out of the factory pads, assuming they were the factory pads? And how much life did they have left?

    I’m just about at 34,000. Short commute with lots of lights and hills. Not sure how much is left, had the dealer and tire shop tell me I’ll need to replace soon.

    The OP says his vehicle is a 4x4, the link you provided is five lug, I presume for a 2-wheel drive vehicle. Or at least the picture says 5 lug.

    Then the Amazon picture is wrong. I have since read in a thread that all 3rd Gen Tacomas regardless of 2- or 4-wheel drive are six lug.

    I bought a complete set of Callahan rotors and pads for less than $100.

    They've lasted longer than OEM did.

    TommyBoy is a great movie too.

    The Geomet Power Stop rotors have a nice heavy coating on them. I’ve been putting their pad/geomet kits in my customers cars with no complaints.

    Don't know, don't care.

    It's a hunk of steel and some brake pads.
