I'm looking to improve braking on a 2013 Sienna LE. Sometimes it's got 7 people and a mountain of stuff in it, sometimes it's got one occupant commuting to work. No towing.
I'm in Canada, and pricing/supply chain seems vastly different here lately (no surprise). I am looking for quality, coated, no-slot, no-drill rotors (thinking Centric GCX) and pads which prioritize stopping power and bite over long life or low dust, so thinking semi-metallic instead of ceramic, perhaps something like EBC Yellowstuff or Power Stop Z36.
I have driven Siennas with full Toyota OE brakes. Right now this vehicle has ceramic-whatevers that the PO put on. They stop, but are not confidence inspiring, and don't have bite that increases as much as I'd like when pedal pressure is increased in a hard stop situation, hence looking a different direction for pads. The combination of increasing front vibrations plus not knowing what these are have me looking at a full brake job.
Anyone used Yellowstuff in a mini van application before? Any other suggestions to look at? Again, I'm in Canada so no Autozone, Pep Boys, etc...
Thanks
