did it myself in my garage , very easy install with proper tools and time
this upgrade is outstanding , real confident feeling brakes ,tight , precise almost never ending grabbing power and the look is well matched rotot size with 19 in or 20 in

thanks adrian, and you did quite abit to help bro
the calipers were bought directly from toyota (thanks steve ) i used vht caliper paint and put about 7 coats on them 2 days before install , the rotors are powerstop pro dimpled and slotted from brandon at the tirerack with goodrich stainless steel lines ( i dont believe in the hype , no offense to those who have them ,with crossdrilled rotors) ebc greenstuff pads and the stickers can be bought from rod millen $10 each
i am loving this brake pkge ,, those of you who know me know i drive hard and fast and am very performance minded and looks second , i did lots of research on this brake upgrade and was well worth it. they grab and grab hard , you can slam them all day long with no fade ( at least i have not realized any as yet) looks wise , they make a nice visual impact when you are standing at a light , i know for i see when people are checking out my ride their eyes are glued to the brakes and wheels , they know you mean business..
to those considering it , make this a must do , even if you have to spring for wheels to clear them , this is more of a safety thing then looks , when you engage in that occasional show of force , its nice to know if something goes wrong , you know you have what it takes to STOP and STOP NOW
thanks for the comments
