Tundra brakes done!!

[T4Rscott]

Hi all,

Well, after weeks of researching different options to stop the infamous 4 Runner brake warping issue, I bit the bullet and did the Tundra brake swap.

At first, I wasn't intending on doing this, I was only going to run the Brembo rotors with OEM pads. However, when I started to take the rotors off, I noticed that one of the dust seals on the right caliper was off completely, and one on the left was deteriorated to the point of crumbling. So of to NAPA I went. I went with the 199mm calipers, ultra premium rotors, and safety stop pads.

Easiest thing I've done so far, and the power is excellent. I say to anyone thinking about this do it.

What kind of wheels do you have? I have stock 15" and want to do upgrade but in one of the DIY projects it said you couldn't do the 231mm with those wheels, but I couldn't find anywhere if the 199mm would be ok.

you cant run 15s with tundra brakes, they wont fit unless you have some crazy offset wheels you need at least 16s even for the 199s some 16s will work with the 231s as well... the tundra brake upgrade threads have covered this...
