Tundra Brake Upgrade brake pad contact surface area

[Milestone707]

Hey guys. Just completed the TBU using the 231mm calipers and the accompanying 2005 tundra brake pads on my 2001 4Runner. I’ve driven the truck a few hundred miles and everything works and feels great. The only thing that concerns me is that when I went to go check the rotor, for some reason the brake pad contact surface to the rotor is not contacting 1/5th of the rotor towards the inner rotor surface. Now this how it should be?

I take it you switched out the stock T4R rotors for Tundra rotors too?

Yes that’s right. I did the complete 231mm TBU. New Rotors from a 2005 tundra, 2005 tundra 231mm calipers, and 2005 tundra brake pads.

If someone who has done the 231mm TBU can take a look and see if there is a 1/5th portion of inner rotor that does not come into contact with the brake pad I’d appreciate it.

Never mind. I googled images of 3rd gen rotors and this is normal.
