I just pulled my Centric 5th gens that had been on for a couple years. Not impressed. I don't know if the lime and clay on the trails here in Fla were to blame, but the seals were pretty much shot.
I intended to rebuild them but one piston was seized enough to where soaking in brake fluid and using 110 psi back through brake line wouldn't break it loose.
Doing a LT project now so I'm putting 5th gen OEM calipers and shields back on w 5th gen "R1concepts" rotors and pads. Already done a mock up w Dorman hubs, everything fits fine.
Certain Toyota markets have been having sales w free shipping on orders over $75 lately. CODE: FREESHIP
Bought quite a bit of parts from Toyota of Melbourne Fla in the past several months and they've done a pretty good job.

When buying a set of 5th gen parts for a 4th gen, your VIN won't work obviously, so dont enter anything, and they will send a follow up email (no VIN provided) you have to respond to, that you acknowledge you still want the parts, so they are off the hook for fitment issues and return shipping. Just make sure you confirm part numbers when you receive them.
I've saved a butt load on the sales + free shipping deal in the last 6 months. Got a brand new LC 200 steering rack for just under $450 from McGeorge Toyota when they had this same deal going back in December.
