I did the $520 option. Easy to use, a nice surprise to see you picked those Vs something generic.
I go with Centric premium rotors and Stoptech pads and I like the setup, Centric makes the rotor blanks for Stoptech big brake kits, I got turned on to them when I had my E46 M3 and that was the recommended setup for daily/hpde/autox use.
Centric blanks and pick a pad you like.
I run centric blanks on a focus st and even on track the rotors haven’t been the problem and focuses are extremely hard on the front brakes because of the ediff. Pads and fluid is where you want to spend your money upgrades on brakes
I have heard from a few people now who do both autocross and lapping days to not get too fussed about rotor selection. Make sure your braking system is in good shape and replace parts as needed, but even the "cheap" rotors will do the job. I have a street/hybrid pad, relatively recent brake fluid, and Centric (I think) rotors off RockAuto. Been working well for me the past couple of years.
I have a non-pp GTI and threw on Centric blank rotors and powerstop z23 pads from Rockauto. Cost around $400 CAD including shipping and tax..super cheap.
No complaints about them, I would certainly buy them again. Very little brake dust but with a strong bite.
I got ASP pads & fully coated Centric rotors when I did my big brake swap & they treated me well.
Just pads and rotors is fine. Probably cheap rotors causing the issue. Go OEM Toyota. Almost positive Akebono pads are oem, as well as Advics rotors. Either way these will not warp.
My experience with hundreds of thousands of miles on many different Toyota/Lexus SUV’s is to go with OEM. You shouldn’t have to do anything with the calipers unless one is frozen. You’ll know that for sure when you try to collapse them to put in the new brake pads. Otherwise just new rotors, pads and all hardware (pins, shims, etc)
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?
