  1. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    I assume you meant the 13WL calipers.
  2. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    For calipers I'd definately stay away from Fenco and A1 Cardone, instead try to find Bendix, Raybestos, ACDELCO or get a used OEM set off a junked Tundra. You may also want to get loaded calipers (ie...
  3. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    That sounds like a major headache because they are significantly larger than the previous version and would require custom brackets to make work. I'd just bolt on the 231mm calipers as others have...

    Flowmaster, if you're short on cash and want to do the mod then get used parts from a boneyard and spend the rest of the cash to get 16" rims/tires off craigslist (then sell your old set to recoup...
  5. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    The Tundra rotors are so much better than stock that even the el cheapo house brand rotors will usually be fine (I'm running a no-name set myself). It's much more critical to have a good brand if you...

    :laugh: .....good analogy.
  7. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Glad you like the Auterra. :thumbup:

    Something is not right if the front is diving as much as you say.
    Are the rears properly adjusted? How many clicks to engage the e-brake?

    A porportioning...
  8. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Wow, good thing you caught that!
    I am almost positive it will fix your issues.
  9. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Yes, you're right, I read it too fast.
    My answer got corrected above.
  10. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    No, it's 13WL not S13WL, but otherwise you are correct.
  11. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Use the homemade power bleeder if you have access to a compressed air source.
    It will help alot with your currently mushy pedal.
  12. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    I don't think I'd feel good taking off much more than 1/8" unless it was on a rib boss.
  13. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    It's not the $12 option, I can tell you that.


    Hint: second answer
  14. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Depends on the price caliper + hardware kit vs semi-loaded.
    Buy whatever gets you everything you need in the most cost effective manner.
  15. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Wow, that looks nice.

    So how's the braking now? :D
  16. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    I think between those two it's whatever makes you feel good with minimal aggravation. Both should get the job done for you, but if you do alot of towing then obviously fit the biggest caliper you can...
  17. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Speedy, I'd be shocked if they didn't fit but you could always "rent" one from a local auto parts store and check the clearance with the rim in place. I know even the 231mm calipers will fit most of...
  18. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Do you have ceramic pads?

    If not then I think you're right and the pads just haven't bedded completely yet.
  19. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Ian, did you also clean the new rotors off with brake cleaner before install?
    Sometimes people forget and the light oil keeps the pads from biting well unitl the oil burns off.

    What psi did you...
  20. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Ditto.....definately use the homemade power bleeder if you have an air compressor.
    The power bleeding seemed to firm up my pedal quite a bit over bleeding manually despite the larger Tundra caliper.
  21. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    $50 is a good price for a used set of calipers....I doubt NAPA could touch a reman'd set for less than 4x-6x that price. I got my set off eBay for $50 on a "buy it now" from a guy who decided not to...
  22. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    I didn't have cores (bought mine used) but there's not much chance of getting a set of 4runner calipers instead because they'll figure out pretty quickly they aren't Tundra cores just by looking the...
  23. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Last time I saw it was $13, but they can be hard to track down.
    It's also pretty rare that used calipers are so bad they need to be rebuilt.
  24. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    Ok, I found my own answer thanks to the guys over at TS.

    First there is only one spring clip on the caliper assembly. Second, the springs in my first pic are upside down (which might explain the...
  25. Sticky: Re: Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

    I was looking at the way I had these installed and tried to find info to verify but I have seen it installed a few different ways in the pics people took. Does anyone know for sure if the spring clip...
