Default Powerslot Rotors

Has anyone used these rotors on their tundras? If so how many miles do you have on them and has the brake vibration gone away??? Stayed away???
I am @ 50k miles and tired of the problem. It is not as bad now as before, but it is still annoying. I am going to purchase new rotors and pads along with new tires and rims here in the next couple of months. I am going to do the entire thing on the same weekend. I will also get the front end aligned. I just want my original ride back. Here is a link to the rotors on ebay....

I was advised by a local brake shop to stay away from slotted or drilled rotors, just in case you ever had to machine them, since you can't. Instead, they recommended a more heavier-duty rotor that would work just as well. Problem is, there aren't many (or any at all??) for the Tundra that I've noticed. I've seen Raybestos, more expensive Beck-Arnley rotors at Napa, and some other cheaper ones you can get at Checker and Autozone. But there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of choices out there.

I remember when I had my Dodge Ram, there were "severe duty" rotors available for that, which is what I think I need for my Tundra, but nobody makes them. I am hoping that a manufacturer comes up with a "severe duty" rotor as well as better pads to go with them in the future...

Wheeler's is carrying now what they are calling 911 Extreme Performance semi metallic pads that will fit the larger calipers, post TSB.

Cool

Put mine on in early January @ 94K. See photos.
No vibrations at all.
Had to stand on them this evening and glad they weren't stock.
Just turned 130K, well worth the $$

I put the Powerslot on my 91 V6 Extended Cab and never had to worry about the rotors again. Plus the feel of the brakes improved. I plan on doing this the first time I feel my stock rotors warping.

I just installed the powerslot rotors on my 05 DC & I am very pleased. The vibation is totally gone & they seem to have substantially more stopping power. I just used stock toyota pads & followed the brake-in steps that powerslot outlines in the paper work. Even w/ 35" tires the truck stops better than stock.

Why not just bite the bullet and go for the Big Brake kit?

I looked into the big brake kit. But, I have 16" wheels (won't fit) & the cost is substantially higher.
