  • Replacement of warped disc and sticking caliper.

    I'm going to be replacing what I think is a warped front disc and definitely a sticking front brake caliper on my 3rd gen.
    RoughTrax offers a number of options on parts. Are there any opinions about what's best to use?
    There's the Kavo Disk and brake set (cheapest), original Toyota discs or the the drilled and grooved discs.
    Also there is two different options for the brake calipers. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.

    I'd go genuine OEM all day every day.
    More Lift.
    More Tyres.
    More Engine.

        I am going to replace discs, calipers and pads on both sides.
        I had heard that the toyota discs are more liable to warp but then I've also read that a sticking caliper can cause a pad to drag on the disc and warp it too.
        At Roughtrax the Kavo discs are half the price of the Toyota ones and was wondering if anyone had any experience - good or bad with either choice.
        (in a dream world I'd like to do the Tundra(or is it tacoma can't remember which now) upgrade but can't justify the price of having to get bigger wheels and tyres so that they would fit).

          Tundra ones fit under 16" wheels, but not if you have the "split 3 spoke" ones that most people have. (Some have reported success with spacers)

          Landcruiser Colorado 5 spoke wheels are a super cheap upgrade, and clear the Tundra calipers.

          If you are happy to pay postage the tundra upgrade is a huge improvement, and the disks are only about £50 each from Toyota, which is better than getting heavy ones shipped! The caliper rebuild kits from Toyota are pretty reasonable for the 4 pots too.

            I've been using non OEM disks on my 2nd gen for 6 months and they seem no different from OEM, in regards to calipers have you considered refurbishing the OEM ones, might be cheaper than buying new ones and you get to keep OEM quality http://www.brakecaliperspecialists.uk/
            Yes it's a V8, don't you know I'm loco?
