Link to rotor conversion?

Houston, I have a problem too. I'm thinking I have a caliper problem too. I spent all my time tonight rebuilding the ICONS. If you can't see it, the brake pad is only in contact with the outer most 70% of the rotor.

How are you doing that? Bad pads?

Going to pull it apart - I am kind of hoping that the caliper mount has something on the mounting bosses that have caused the caliper to be mounted on an angle. Getting out the dial indicator now.

Doing a little web wheeling to see if there my be an alternative caliper for my Taco since I need some new/rebuilt calipers.
Came across this. Bummer that I don't run 16's.

This article suggests that my wheels will accommodate these calipers. I shall see.

Which truck are you putting it on? That is the Tundra Brake Upgrade that is pretty popular for 1st gen Tacomas and 3rd gen 4Runners. I believe this specific swap is possible due to the calipers being a direct bolt in. This can be done with some 16" rims; some require spaces, some do not. I am looking to do this upgrade to my 4R pretty soon.

... I was hanging my 'trucker hat' on this statement in the somewhat vague article in FourWheeler...
It also tickled me when I saw this:
My thoughts were, If I have to replace a caliper, even a 5% improvement would be a home run.
The 3rd gen 4Runners have a drastic improvement. You can find the whole setup ready to bolt on and go on Amazon for less than $300. That is the route I am probably going with.

I am going to 'rent' a caliper from my local parts store to fit check. Then if it works, I'm going to order tundra backing plates from Toyota and order this kit (I think) from Rock Auto.

Only thing is I am not wild about the red or the drilled and slotted and I have always believed that red calipers were for cars that cost north of $100k but I could always paint the pretty lip stick.

This is the kit I am looking to purchase. I will probably repaint the calipers before mounting them up.

I like the idea of no core charge. - Off to pick up a 13WL for a fit check.

Post pics and start a new upgrade thread. I know there are more than a few 2nd gen Tacomas that would do a brake upgrade cheap.

Let's make sure it fits and STOPS first.
Progress. Wheel weights will be tight but its looking do-able.
Tight. Just like I like my women and sheep.
Backing plates are cheap.
