Which Rotors for Tundra Swap?

[xskydivingdudex]

hey guys, well i know most of u have been doing this mod and well ive been trying to do some research before i take the plunge since funds are kind low but im wondering why u use the rotors u choose... i know BigFishAllDay made a thread more in depth between the difference overall but im trying to see what the difference between rotors.

I know they are not all created equally but after doing some research on Amazon i started to think "i wonder how much better the more expensive rotors are for the money." Basically im wondering how much better the brembo ones are over the other two brands...

Brembo:
Amazon.com: Brembo 25534 Front Disc Brake Rotor: Automotive

Centric Parts:

ACDelco:
Amazon.com: ACDelco 18A1101A Advantage Front Brake Rotor: Automotive

I went with the Brembo because it seems like the most common one that I found that people go with.

i just went with NAPA premium rotors, and they have been fine for me, no complaints here

X2. And they weren't as pricey either! Napa gives a 10% AAA discount.

I went with the ones in a white box for 46 bucks..lol

The casting was good too not like the one guys that were all flakey and stuff..

I cant see you making a mistake they are really thick which ever way you go.

I have OEM tundra rotors, they have ~45k on them. I need to get them turned, they warp bad after traveling down the mountains.

Napa premium here also, no problems whatsoever!

I also have the OEM ones... They're also terribly warped after chasing my dad up/down some mountain roads deer hunting...

I plan on getting the Brembos sooner than later. Maybe the Napas... Isaac/Ripcord seem to like them... :beer:

you mean skyway and deer creek hwy? wow those OEM ones suck DDD(dead donkys d1cks) i have come down both of those one time down skyway towing an old fj40 and never have had issues. thats surprising about the OEMs

ok so after looking at my options i was debating on getting the cheap centric parts rotors but since some of u are having warping problems with OEM ones i should pro just do the extra $20 each and get the brembos to be on the safe side since they are $2.50 cheaper then the Napa ones after tax.

I think i will go with Brian's suggestion of going with the Napa pads since they are $40 and OEM from dealership is $60.

As for calipers i purchased some eBay bc they were much cheaper then buying at a store even with the core charge.
