Power Stop Brake Kit For 2007-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 2005-2022 Toyota Tacoma 6 Lug, 2003-2009 4Runner 12.56" Rotors - Front Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads & Drilled Slotted Rotors Replacement, K137

This is the second set of power stop brakes I have used. First was on a 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK, second on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma. In both cases, easy to follow installation instructions and break-in instructions. Stopping power is much improved, and feels much smoother.

Replaced 14 year old factory rotors. I drive a lot of highway miles and I'm moderately responsible on the road so the old ones weren't warped too bad. But after the break in of the replacements I just put on the difference is amazing. These new rotors and pads stop a lot quicker without any noise.I cant give a review on how long they will last, but they seem to be made very well. There hasn't been much dust at all either.Install was easy if you're moderately handy and have a few tools. A brake spanner is really useful to push the pistons apart.

Fantastic

This is the third vehicle in the last 5 years that I have installed the Power Stop pads and rotors on, and again I am astounded at how good they are. I have owned nearly every type and make brakes and rotors over the years and these are without exception the best.Some Background: We have a 2003 Jeep Liberty in the family since it was new. It's a great vehicle in every way, work. towing trailers, daily driving and four wheeling in the AZ desert. The stock brakes were adequate but not great. When my daughter took over the car I was highly motivated to find more stopping power for the Jeep. I did a lot of research and found (at the time) Power Stop brakes on a performance parts website. Taking a chance I bought the kits for the front and back. I installed them, followed the the simple break in procedure and could not believe the difference! I am not joking in saying that the Liberty has twice the stopping power. The stopping distance is less and the immediate stopping response is totally new for this vehicle. If I had not experienced it myself. I would not have believed it. The drilled and slotted rotors mated with the carbon fiber resin pads is amazing and after 5 years with tons of driving her back and fourth to College out of state through the mountains, they are still working perfectly.I just put them on my 2004 4Runner Limited and again the braking response is a huge notch up and so smooth. The 4Runner has this silly brake assist motor function that I really don't like, as for me it dulls the braking response unlike my Chrysler products. The Power Stop brakes nearly corrects that response and makes the brakes more precise and a pleasure to use.I also have a 2004 Dodge work truck that has big brakes and works well, but I found that the pads, no matter what I used would always squeak eventually on this truck driving me crazy. A flaw in the design. Some years ago I cut the existing rotors and put on Power Stop pads. Again the results were amazing as the truck stops better and no noise!If you want the best, do yourself a favor and buy Power Stop brakes especially the Drilled/Slotted Brake Rotors and Z23 Evolution Ceramic kit.Two Points of interest on the brakes:1. Follow the Break In directions!!! There is a simple driving procedure where you have to accelerate and brake 10 times for specific speeds and then drive for at least 5 minutes to cool them down. This heats up the resin and bonds it to the rotors. It only needs to be done once right after you install them. I always installed and broke them in at night so there is less traffic and I can follow the 10 stops properly.2. On the Jeep during emergency (hard) braking, I do hear the brakes make a specific sound. It sounds like almost like a down shift on a manual shifting car. It is not loud but it is there. I figure it is part and parcel of an aggressive drilled and slotted rotor and or the pads. It is only heard during very hard braking and does not bother us at all. I don't really hear it on the other vehicles.

Just installed them, so can't speak to longevity. Was easy to install and performance seems to be very good. The wire clips that hold the shoe retention pins in place were lighter gauge than the OEM clips, so I re-used the originals instead of replacing them.

Brakes were close to metal on metal. They were pulsating before. These parts were a perfect fit and the pulsation is gone. Why original review was a 1 star since I threw a fit that the item arrived a day late.

The installation went fine (for the most part). Unfortunately even after following the break-in instructions to the letter I ended up with a slight vibration that has gotten progressively worse. It's now 14 months after initial installation and I'm going to have to replace these even though they're still in very good visible condition. I'd estimate that they're less than 25% worn at the pads and the rotors appear to be fine but the front end vibration is no longer tolerable. The first type of vibration feels like rotor warpage or runout. The other is what I'd best describe as a buzzing under braking. I can only assume it's due to the slots/holes as it's a very rhythmic vibration. I've driven a lot of cars and trucks with drilled/slotted rotors and never experienced this sort of noise/vibration. For what it's worth, they do brake like a beast which was a significant improvement for my 4runner. But before the front end vibrates apart I'm going to have to get this thing torn apart and put new pads/rotors on it. I did replace the calipers and all hardware when these pads/rotors were installed just to be clear.

K2421@338mm is correct. Shame on me for not knowing my wife's rotors were 338mm instead of 319mm when I got the obligatory "my car is making brake noises" call while I'm out of town. Had to order via phone app with 10 minutes to spare for next day delivery. Perhaps if they actually told you something useful like 17" or 16" wheels instead of "Yes this fits" your vehicle when I pick EITHER one of them, then I wouldn't have screwed it up. Why would I look for another size if this one says it fits? Only after discovering the problem did I even know to look for a difference. Once you know to look, there are tons of PO'd people who had the same problem on Amazon and all over the internet. FIX YOUR FILTERING TOOL!!!!!!!! Find me a 2005 4runner Sport V6 without 17" wheels anyway.Parts were nice otherwise, would have loved it if they had fit. How many people have returned these...10, 100, 1000. It has to be alot. Why not flag this as a common error!?!?4Runner jacked up in garage, 2 days before Xmas 11pm, Stage 5 in the middle of a pandemic when I figure this out, after prying out the old pads and denting the old rotors. Auto parts stores are closed until tomorrow (if even open) and I have to waste time fighting other m0r0ns in UPS store to return these. And the rotors at auto parts stores are cheapo, not slotted, not drilled and $20 more. Amazon is now 5 days minimum because of holiday. Thanks Power Stop. Merry FN XMas.
