I put on the slotted PowerStop rotors and have been very happy with them.
Best Brake discs for Toyota 4runner
I replaced mine around 55k miles. You’ll be so much happier starting fresh, no shuddering, better braking power.
I did the 13WE upgrade (slightly smaller) because I did not want to mess with needing to use spacers or cutting up the OEM double 3 spoke wheels. Braking performance is significantly better, no more vibrations going down long hills. No problems with pedal feel either.
A few thousand miles later and I started to noticed a some shaking in the steering wheel when braking in the higher speeds (60-80mph). I called a few shops in my area that were highly recommend on both here Reddit, yelp, and the forums. Most pointed to warped rotors. One shop says to have the rotors machined and another says to have the completely replaced. What are your guy’s thoughts on having them machined?
I would advise from purchasing Power Stop drilled and slotted rotors and pads. Purchased and installed them. They told me the upgraded rotors and pads would reduce the brake fade I experience from driving a 1999 4Runner with a 3 inch Lift and 32s in the mountains. Initially I saw an increase in stopping power and endurance. Now, 6 months later, I have been experiencing horrible vibrations while braking and at highway speeds. I replaced my pads which were already worn out. Still experienced horrible vibrations. Today I replaced the rotors and have finally been able to brake smoothly and safely. The Power Stop pads wore out in 6 months and the rotors got warped.
