It doesn't seem from this post that the rotors are in question and the new calipers don't seem much larger, so how does this fix the root of the problem? Prior to reading the "full" post, I was just going to add Brembo rotors and some ceramic pads, but now I'm not so sure. Thank you for any clarification.

The problems lies within a Poor Caliper design and Toyota knows very well about this issue because it affected the Tundra and the Sequoia for the first model year'. It Took Toyota till Sept 2003 to finally get it right.
