Rear Brake/Rotor Recommendations: Lexus GX470 (PowerStop On the Front)
- Thread starter sp73
- Start date
On our GS350 F Sport, I used aftermarket rotors and Lexus pads.
On Toyota cars and trucks, I typically go back with the OE Toyota/Lexus or Advics.

Is the Truck & Tow the cheese grater rotors? Mostly a gimmick if so.
The last Tundra I did was just Import Direct stuff from O'Reilly.
If you must have high zoot, it looks like RA has kits from Dynamic Friction and Brembo. I might try one of those. I just put a Brembo kit on the rear of an '08 Range Rover but I can't really say if performance is any better than anything else.

And you lose precious braking surface too. There’s a reason why slotted and drilled rotors are part of a big brake kit.
I stand corrected... they are slotted and drilled.
Why not match the fronts? I never liked mixing front and rear brakes compounds

I've always used the factory Toyota pads on my 2007 Tundra...just turned 372,000 miles. Rotors are original at both ends. I think the front rotors were turned once at the dealer. They always check the run out and thickness and tell me they are fine and slap another set of pads on, and bleed them.
Occasionally tow a horse trailer...they work fine.

Powerstop Geomet coated or Bosch Quietcast rotors are a good choice
EBC's plain rotors are also good

For aftermarket pads on Japanese cars, I’ve always liked Akebono. I have DFC on a Genesis and Fit, so far so good. Toyota’s TCMC pads will be similar to Akebono or Advics. Warranty pads will the same ones the car came from the factory.
That said, a neighbor had Indian-made BrakeBest Select(DBxxxx-xx edge codes, made by MAT Roulunds in India) pads on a RAV4. They worked surprisingly well - a little noisy but I didn’t hear the characteristic clunk aftermarket pads make on Toyotas. Wagner and Raybestos especially.

Lol.I think @edyvw, has personal experience with this model. Further, any chance he can rip on Toyota he's right there. Regardless, I value his input on this site.
EBC pads and rotors. Pagid pads.
Toyota pads longevity wise are fine, performance wise, I will just keep quiet.
Rotors are, well, I will still stay quiet.
