Hard to find Specs, Info & Measurements on 231mm 13WL Tundra Calipers & Rotors

Ok so i was ready to buy the parts to do the tundra break upgrade then i noticed that on rock auto under my 2002 4runner breaks they offer a z36 upgrade kit for the 4runner which has 319mm rotors and the tundra is a 231mm so my question is which is better both say they our best for towing which i will be doing is there difference? Is the tundra still the better option. I have 16” rims with no lift 2wd and dont want to modify too much any advise would be much appreciated

You're confusing rotor and caliper sizes. The 199mm and 231mm are caliper sizes, the 319mm you mentioned are rotor sizes. Tundra calipers go with thicker Tundra rotors than 4Runners have, that's their main advantage.
 
Has anyone looked at or thought about going this route for the parts:

Am on the fence. Alternative I was going to do OEM rotors, reman'd 13wl calipers from auto parts store and oem pads. In Timmy toolman youtube video that did this upgrade they went with EBC slotted rotors which I also am considering. Help me choose between the choices! Being indecisive minute by minute.
 
Since I had a difficult time locating the part number for the spreader clips / anti-rattle clips here it is: 04947-0C010
Each part number comes with 2 spreader clips and they were pretty cheap. A couple bucks if I remember correctly. Anyways, only 1 clip per side is required but I put 2 per side because I had ordered 2 sets of what I thought was only 1 clip which means I ended up with 4 clips instead of 2 like I thought.
 
Took a few hours but everything went pretty smooth. I may of cut a little bit more of the dust shield but I'm happy.
 
Got mine installed with extended stainless steel lines!

FYI, 231mm TBU fits under these Tacoma TRD Pro wheels.

What lines did you use?
 
Has anyone used the Cardone calipers from Rockauto? They look exactly the same as the ones from Napa and when I looked up Napa's warranty it's through Cardone, so I'm 99% sure they're exactly the same. Looks like there's also a coated option as well for even cheaper than regular Cardone calipers.

The only difference I see is Rockauto lists warranty as 2yr/24k miles while Napa is lifetime, so it's basically $93 for lifetime warranty or $53 for 2yr.

I used Cardone's Ultra Premium 199 mm calipers from Rockauto. Quite happy with the look, the finish, and the price.

can some one confirm this kit will work? After a lot fo back and forth im pretty sure its what I want and a lot better deal than a kit from Summit, Amazon, or powerstop.

thanks,
Gregg

I bought one of their kits and ended up returning it - the rotor machining was terrible, one side was way thicker than the other. Maybe I got a dud, but I wouldn't recommend them based on my experience.
 
When people talk about the 199mm or the 231mm they are talking about the caliper correct? What the 199 or 231 reference? Are the diameters of the rotors the same?

I just want the bigger caliper 13WL caliper. Which maybe it’s worth just buying new OEM stuff and getting brembo rotors and OEM pads

I went with the powdercoated cardone calipers from Rockauto and will report if any issues. They look great and I’d definitely suggest them over the napa (rock auto is $45 less and coated from what I can see).

Akebono pads and brembo blank rotors. Holy crap it’s a different car!

I also have those calipers. 2 years in and they are great. They are OEM calipers rebuilt with new seals & hardware is all.
