I have a base truck with no air conditioning or power steering. The front rotors always warp. Can I put, say, V6 front rotors, calipers, & pads?

 

You might want to look into using 1 ton brakes. Like swapping rotors and calipers. But I dont know if you have to swap hubs too. IDK..

But if your going to go thru the hassle, do what I did. LS400 rotors and calipers on my truck spindles....

 

pendejo, monday is the 5th.. it's no holiday

 

Wow what kind of rotors do you use?

 

driving habits or over turned rotors?

 

do what i did:

 

No, it's a kick-around/ Saturday work truck. I got it with 165,000 miles. The rotors were warped and I replaced the rotors and pads then. I drove it normally; once in a blue moon with a load for the dump. There are 180,000 miles on it now and the rotors are warped.

When I replaced them initially, the mechanic said that the brake design was poor. Normally the pads are a rectangular sweep. These are diamond shaped. This design provides less surface area to handle the heat build-up load. I babied the brakes but noticed the pulsing (warped rotors) came back.

It sounds like 1 ton calipers and pads are the way to go. Straight bolt-ons.

 

awesome! do you think these will clear 16" starion wheels? What wheels are you running now?

 

hey where can i find a set of drilled and/or slotted rotors?

 

is this a bolt on setup?? what parts do you need to put the lexus brakes on??

 

bump ...bump... so what part did you need for the ls 400 setup??? any help out there ? Im going with 350z rear brakes so I NEED TO upgrade the fronts ... and I DO NOT want to change from 5 lug... any help?

 

All factory Toyota parts except 5 grade 8 bolts/washers.

Used the LS400 caliper bracket. One bolt hole lines up, the other one needs to be drilled and tapped.

Do a search on it bud. Ive gone into detail before and I dont remember where.

 

hee hee...... I think I can make this work!!
