Does anyone have experience with aftermarket brake parts for improving braking? I have a 2000 Tundra and dont have the shuttering problems and haven't had the TSB service done. I have noticed that on hard braking I wish I had a little more stopping power. I dont think this is part of the TSB from what I have read. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
A number of people have switched to Powerstop rotors and drums, with the Porterfield pads/shoes with good results.
Do a quick search in the suspension/brake forum and you should be able to find plenty of info easily.

The only reason slotted and drilled rotors work better is becase they release the gasses produced when braking. You get the same effect when you buy pads that have a slot in them. If you want more braking power switch to a pump driven system like on the 2500 suburbans.
I don't have them myself...but you can order TRW drums from Wheeler's and have them cryo'ed just like the rotors. Dunno how much that helps or not as I haven't done the mod yet myself.
Some of the results I was reading from people who had done the rotor upgrade said that regular braking felt the same, but when you really got on them, that's when the difference showed with much more powerful braking.

some older cars, lots of chevys, and most mercades dont have a brake booster. As you may or may not know the brake booster uses vaccum power created inside the intake manifold. They hydroulic type use powersteering fluid. The out line on the PS pump sends fluid through the brake "booster" then to the steering box then back to th pump. Pressure is created by the flow of the fluid.
