I went with Zimmermann discs for their cost and have had no issues with them.
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)
I did the tundra upgrade 10 years ago, and I'm STILL on the same rotors!!!
I've tried 3 brands of rotors just in one year of ownership in my e46. Do Zimmerman. They were my third brand I did. Other 2 warped so damn fast
I like my Zimmerman rotors and akebono pads.
Zimmerman rotors are pretty much the item of choice as far as I know, and I’ve always sworn by Hawk HPS pads if you’re street driving.
I just did my front and rears as well here are the fcp euro part numbers. (No brake dust, & feels amazing)
I have the zimmermans, and I've heard numerous people tell me they've seen and heard of them cracking under heavy heated use. It kinda worries me a little, but they've been solid so far, and I've yet to really roast them... Honnestly if I were to do it again, I would probably go with the brembos even though they may be a little more expensive. whats more important to stopping, is pads. The difference between the stopping power and feel of different pads varries greatly. I've had some heavy carbon kevlar pads that took a long while to warm up but once they were warm grabbed really well, but they were kinda hard for regular street driving. I've used stock pads which pretty much suck but last forever, and I've used some softer sport street pads that wear and dust a little more, but stop far supperior to oters for regular street driving. I've yet to push them to the point of fade, but we'll see where that goes once I've got the suspension and bleeding sorted
Zimmerman and Carbotech, EBC do not hold up.
