Tundra Brakes input - Powerstop / Napa Eclipse / Callahan

[TonyB66]

Is there a source to just get the 13WL calipers, powder coated in black?

Not knocking these cross drilled in particular, but in general, I'm aware of many cracks on cross drilled rotors for those who track their cars. Apparently the process in which they are cross drilled was contributory, but many just stayed away...

Spktyr, thanks for calling-out the pad delta. Important.

Power stop is on amazon too for $275. It states $60 rebate but it is for the Core.

Normally the price they show is not including the core they charge you at checkout that you get back after sending the old ones in. The link you posted shows that the price after core is only $215 so that is the cheapest I’ve seen the complete package so far by a long shot!

Nice, thank you, again.

So, that, plus this would get me what I need for about $250 (138 + 114)

Yep, that’s almost identical to my calipers and pads/ rotors price breakdown since I also pieced mine together. I was debating running the black Callahan’s but couldn’t find them last week for a decent price so I opted for the red Power Stop ones. I can live with the red.

Ended-up getting those calipers you found on eBay, so thanks again. And, after much reading, I decided to go with Brembo rotors. Found a pair for $118. So, I still need to decide upon and get pads...

As for speed bleeders (Russell), it seems that our Tundra caliper needs the 639570. In the rear, it's the 639560.

I went with the Z36 pads for my 13WE calipers, these are for the 13WL at about $30 - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3802464&cc=1389001&jsn=472.

Leon, thanks much. I fell asleep last night reading-up on pads! These made my list, and the price looks to be very good. I imagine they would be fine with the Brembo rotors. I purchased a utility trailer over the summer, so there will be some towing at some point too...

I didn't order the speed bleeders yet, but will. I think all I need now is fluid. Thanks again.

buying online

Is buying online worth it?

For amazon, to get the $60 core return, you have to pay for shipping. Doesn't it cost a lot to ship something that heavy?

Summit racing is $80 core charge.

I found my first set on Amazon with no core and free shipping with Prime - however, it was dropshipped from PowerStop and the package as it arrived was missing one caliper and the one that was there was completely the wrong kind. Apparently that's happened a few times with Amazon orders. I ended up sending it back and picking up the same kit from Summit locally (they have a Summit store here in the Dallas area now) with a Summit discount that basically meant I paid $50 for the core and the kit was $285 - but I got it the same day and could make sure I got a good pair of correct calipers.
