Power stop brakes for third gen
Afternoon,
i am looking to do the 199mm caliper upgrade for my 01 limited and had a couple questions about parts.

Has anyone had experience with Power Stop brakes? rock auto carries them in complete kits and it seems to be a good price considering i cant find new ones from toyota for anywhere close to this price. This is the kit i was considering below.

More Information for POWER STOP KC2323

Second question is that would it be worth it to go with Toyota calipers even though they run 350 a piece?

Thanks for the info. Ill throw on a picture because no one likes a forum without pictures.

Hard to find Specs, Info & Measurements on 231mm 13WL Tundra Calipers & Rotors
Pretty much everything you need to know about the TBU. It's not at all worth it to spend that much on OEM calipers when you can get complete kits for less than the cost of one. Here's a setup that myself and a few others are running, and I've had zero problems with it if there's no real reason for you to not be able to fit the 231. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

that looks like a solid deal, does that include the core charge? if i have 16" rims i should be fine with this kit correct?

Buy used but rebuild able tundra calipers

Yeah, no extra core charge. What you see is what you pay. Whether or not your wheels fit depends on the back spacing/offset. If they're listed as proper fitment for a late first gen Tundra, then they clear the calipers.

Holes and slots are just for looks on street vehicles. They have a lot of drawbacks and do not increase performance. If they have a version that is not drilled or slotted I would go with that.

I put the k1236 power stop pads and rotors on about 3 months ago. Best decision i've made in a while. Totally worth the $150 on amazon.

What kind of drawbacks are you talking about, just introducing dirt under pads?

That and they reduce pad life, reduce brake surface area, reduce rotor mass to act as a heat sink, can't normally be resurfaced, etc. It is worse than stock in a panic stop situation. Improvement will come from your choice of pads.

It is really one of those "because racecar" mods that makes no sense on a street car.
