4th Gen Brake Upgrade Question

tmarton05 · 2019-04-22T01:28:20+00:00

I have done a good amount of research but still have some questions on front brake kits for 4th gens. I have a seized caliper and am looking to do a brake upgrade to potentially avoid this situation in the future as well as have overall better braking performance. I am looking at the Powerstop towing kit on Rockauto.com and wondering if I should get the 4Runner specific one, or if there is any advantage to getting the Tundra one and fitting that for the 4runner. I have a 2006 limited and the 4Runner kit says its a 319mm rotor which I believe is the smaller SR5 rotor size? Any advice or suggestions are welcomed. 4runner Specific Kit: More Information for POWER STOP KC13736 Tundra Kit: More Information for POWER STOP KC232436

After a few months of having the kit, any feedback?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with powerstop brake pads. They have good stopping power but the drilled/slotted rotors are a bit of snake oil. Similar with calipers (OEM and aftermarket). 4th and 5th gen calipers have a tendency to seize up over time because they’re made of iron which has a high tendency to rust over.
