Great aftermarket kit!
I installed this on my 2013 Tacoma. Everything fit excellent and I had zero trouble. The kit came with all of the hardware needed, including the pad springs. Once I bedded them in, they are smooth and do not squeal. Great stopping power!

Way better then stock brakes!
I have waited to put about 10,000 miles on these brakes before I left a review. All I can say is that these brakes are much better than stock Tacoma brakes. Kit was super easy to install and fit perfectly, comes with everything you need. I do some towing and have noticed a greater stopping performance. So far the brakes haven’t warped and I have got them really hot. The drill and slotted rotors perform well but also look cool! So far I haven’t heard any brake noise and they seem to be wearing slowly. This is the kit to buy, I cannot believe how cheap it was. Super happy with my purchase!

Easy to install.
I bought these almost a year ago and just now got around to installing them. They were easy to install, and the rotors look sharp. They are braking well. I feel much safer.

'18 Taco TRD Off-Road upgrade; Awesome value and stopping power!
Great pad/disc combo. They cost about 1/3 the price of OEM and last just as long. We had massive brake fade issues coming off Mt. Hood and surrounding areas. Scary bad. After this install we never had heat fade or really any issues at all, even towing the trailer (2800 lbs +). Threw a set on my FJ as well. These are a no brainier upgrade and just happen to cost way less. Amazing value. Takes about 1 hr to do the job in your driveway with very basic tools. They also work amazing in the slush, snow, and ice we have during winters here. They're really amazing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do yourself a solid and get these. For real.

Good set of brakes. Slightly better than OEM
I got this set of brakes for my 2015 4x4 Tacoma that I off-road with (its also my daily driver). I opted for the truck/tow brake kit over the standard kit because I have upgraded high clearance steel bumpers, upgraded suspension and tires, as well as some undercarriage armor and other things that add to the overall weight of the vehicle. Installation was easy. I'm not an expert mechanic but I do as much of my own work as I can to save money and this was the first time ive changed rotors myself. The packaging it came in could have been better organized, the heavy rotors crushed the pad box and a pad fell out when picked up the box that contained them. I was honestly a little surprised one of the pads wasn't cracked. Whoever packaged these should do a better job... After the break in period which I had to do at 6:30 PM on a Saturday through the streets of suburbia (I did the work at a friends house and had to get home) everything seems good. Follow the break in instructions. One or two of the bad reviews are probably because some genius didnt think they were necessary. The stopping power of these rotors and pads is slightly better than what I was experiencing with the OEM brakes. I didn't opt to upgrade the size of the rotors/pads due to the wheel size on my truck or I would have just increased the brake surface area instead of upgrading OEM parts. All in all I'm happy with this purchase. I wish they would be a bigger upgrade in stopping power but any increase in stopping power is better than what I was experiencing before. Id say I get 10-15% better with these brakes. For now ill give it 4 stars. Expected a little more bite and the packaging job was god awful but I will update after the off-road test in the spring.

Loves these brake pads and rotors. Definitely recommend if you are switching from the factor.
Installed these on my Tacoma 2019 and they look and feel great! The stopping power of these discs and brake pads are night and day compared to the factory rotors and pads. easy to install and comes with some instructions. I wish they included a 2nd back of brake grease but the pads themselves, very easy. Even comes with replacement hardware for the caliper.

Awesome stock replacement on my 2018 Tacoma. I tow and haul quite often and so I figured I’d give these a shot. They work well, I don’t know if they are better than factory but for the price I was willing to give them a try. Time will tell if I get 150,000km’s out of these like my factory. Installation was also fairly easy and didn’t take very long at all.

Easy install and they work so much better the the OEM ones. I didn't realize how bad the factory brakes were until I put these on. I followed the brake in to a T and they really grip when you apply the brakes.
