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)
I had EBC disks in the past (not on my Alfa tho) and they were very good in my opinion.
I did the tundra upgrade 10 years ago, and I'm STILL on the same rotors!!!
I replaced mine around 55k miles. You’ll be so much happier starting fresh, no shuddering, better braking power.
I’ve bought at least 6 cars for family/friends using Cinch and have found them to go above any other standard I’ve come across in 40 yrs in the motor trade. A few yrs back bought my mum a 3 yr old Aygo with 9,000 miles on the clock and it was delivered with new front discs and pads fitted. I queried this with the delivery driver as I wouldn’t have expected them to need replacing at such low mileage. His reply was “yeh, If there’s Any sign of rust on any brake disc then we’ve been told to replace whatever is needed”
I got EBC rotors and orange pads. Much better than stock IMO.
If money is not an issue, get EBC slotted rotors and yellow stuff pads. Amazing combo and will be getting the same when I need brakes.
I have the same setup except with red stuff on my supercharged jag and have 70k miles on the rotors and pads and still look like the day I bought em. I drove that car like I stole it all the time and it has been through pretty rough winters here in central KY.
I changed my rear brakes around 40,000km due to excessive rust perforation on the rear brake rotors and I opted for EBC slotted and drilled rotors paired with Green Stuff Series 2000 pads. They were phenomenal until 103k when I sold the car. A bit dusty but worked fantastic.
The stock front rotors have fairly significant heat spots and slight warping. I do mostly spirited street driving with some track use but obviously heat dissipation has been an issue, given how hefty the car is. Looking to upgrade the rotors and pads to more performance oriented options while hoping to keep the level of noise and dust relatively low.
Yeah, I gained a stunning 1 WHP with a D03 nozzle with my DVC-30 kit. :laugh:
