Default Re: Rear brake conversion kit

When I got my truck it had the wobble problem with braking, ended up being warped rotors. Found out later that these earlyer Tundras have some issues with the braking. Well I drove the truck with the wobbles till my pads were basically done, about 90k miles. Took my truck to my friends shop, had him turn the rotors and replace the pads. The pads he installed(dont remember the brand)are freakin thick, there like 2wice as think as normal pads are, and there like a 2 piece construction. The first piece, the inner piece. Is made up of what typical pads are made of, copper brass steel wool, and held together with a resin. But the outside layer is ceramic. He told me they would last me another 150k miles easy. As soon as I got everything installed, after driving a bit I noticed how much more braking power I had. I enjoyed it quite a bit.Well since then ive put on a little more than 3k miles to the new pads and turned rotors, and so far no wobbles or anyother problems.
My suggestion is to atleast go to a Toyota dealer and just see what they think abou it, Or another shop. Dont have to buy anything just see what they reccomend.
