They sure do. My 4th gen rears were much worse than my fronts. They caused all the pulsation in my truck. The rear pads weren't evenly worn. Once replaced, everything has been perfect like a brand new car. If I came off the brake pedal quickly you could hear the rear calipers release shortly after. Now there's nothing and it's nice.

Really glad I did them (all 4) before moving out to seattle from Chicago. These mountains would make me nervous with pulsating brakes/sticky calipers.

Hmm I have a 2004 v8 limited ,

we had one sized caliper... we have to swap all the brake pads and brake rotors... it seems for not much more you i can also swap to 5th gen calipers ...

are the limited 4th gens the same as the 5th gens? I assume not because I had a sized caliper.

What do you guys think. Good thing i saw this post almost pulled the buy trigger on OEM rotors and pads for 4th gen.
Centric is oem quality?

Going to do this soon. Has anyone had any issues with rock auto or any other autoparts not accepting the old 4th Gen calipers as cores for the 5th gen calipers?

Got my refund no questions asked. I think everyone who has done this mod has successfully returned their cores without any issues. I just wish it didn't cost me $80 to ship them back...

if you can fit them in a usps flat rate box they ship for a flat rate.... 80 dollars seem excessive. even 2 flat rate boxes should have been more than 30.

Awesome, thanks! Guess I'll be ordering sooner than later so I can get rid of this damn pulsing when I brake....

I just had my front rotors machined, rears replaced, and calipers cleaned and lubed, new pads all around, and my mechanic mentioned it should be done yearly, anyone have this done often, and still have calipers seize?

btw, braking feels amazing

Is everyone just changing out their front brakes or are the rears known to seize up too?

I did front and rear. Wasn't that much more and figured better safe than sorry.

Still a little puzzled by all of this.
Is the 4Runner Sport plagued by the seized caliper issue as well?

It already has different calipers than the SR5 and Limited, no?

...and I think I read somewhere that the 5th gen and 4th gen Sport share the same size calipers. Are they the same or should Sport owners think about doing this swap as well?
