Helped a friend replace all 4 brakes and rotors, he bought oem off eBay from some Toyota dealership in FL if I recall. I think it was around mid 400s for it. The brakes came with new shims and springs, the only thing you’ll reuse is the pins that hold the pads in place.

If your Toyota brakes came with shims and springs they are the lower tier TCMC brake kits. Not recommend by many pro techs.

Toyota Factory Replacement Brakes vs. TCMC Brakes

Conicelli Toyota used to have some of the best prices for brake pad and rotor bundles. I’m not sure if they are still competitive with the www.parts.Toyota.com free shipping offers that are common these days. You still need to buy the hardware and shims separately.

Time for new brakes. Input wanted.

For those that are interested, Lifestyle Overland and Wanderlost Overland have some good diy videos on 5th gen brakes.

Resurrecting this old thread because it's time for new brakes for us.

This will be the third set at now 130k miles.
The last set was EBC Green Stuff pads, 6000 front and 4000s on the rear with OEM rotors. They worked night and day better than the OEM pads but the fronts dusted a LOT. After a week of driving, I would clean the wheels because the fronts were noticeably darker than the rear.

As such, I'm really debating on going back with all Toyota parts or trying Hawks.
Nose dive is minimized now with Bilsteins so I'm not worried about that anymore but I don't want to lose the great bite this set has.

Any additional thoughts on OEM vs aftermarket pads?

When my time comes, I plan to use this kit by Power Stop. It includes calipers, pads, and rotors - but is available without calipers. They have other kits configured to the 4Runner, just use the finder tool on the Power Stop website.

I had the brakes done on my '16 in August. I used Toyota pads because the original lasted a long time and wore very evenly - no shudder, vibration, etc.

On the subject of rotors, you know to check them for minimum thickness to be sure and even if they are of appropriate thickness and are in good shape, they should be machined, even if very lightly. You want to make sure that the new pads have a good friction surface to grip, and so you needn't take off a lot (in relative terms) but they should be done. I know a lot of people say it's fine and what-not, and it is not the end of the world if you don't do it, but the proper way to do the job is to machine the rotors (again even if only taking off a very small amount). This is why, btw, I deliberated and did not do the brakes myself. By the time I buy new Toyota rotors (because I don't have access to an on-the-car lathe or a good machine shop that I trust) to replace perfectly good rotors on the truck, it is a wash cost-wise and probably cheaper to pay a shop to do the job.

Final note is to make sure you do a brake flush as part of the job.

HTH, good luck.

I do a lot of highway driving. Six years and 105,000 miles on the OEM brakes. Fronts are at 40%, rears at 20%.
In a month or so I’ll have them all replaced with Toyota parts. They work for me.

plan on using power stop z36 rotors and pads when i replace my OEM rotors and pad in the next year or so. I have the kit sitting in my office for months.

OEM rotors and pad performance were good enough until i had to do an emergency panic stop and i blew through the brakes. That was a wake up call for me.

A buddy of mine runs centric rotors and he swears by them also.
