FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Brakes

So i'm at 91K and just got the 90K service done and the stealership says that my brakes need replacing and will gladly do it for me (just pads) for around $400. I said no way. So now I'm in the market for new brakes! I have 3mm on front pads and 5mm on rears and the rotors are not too far behind so I might as well replace them all at once. Does anyone recommend anything aftermarket? I do a lot of combination highway/city driving and try to get out and wheel at least once a month and will be more once I finish school.

Thanks for the help!

Did you get the ones from Demello? How do they look (Show Us Some Pics!!!) haha. Yea I am still on the fence on what to get I do need to figure it out sooner than later though. I agree my FJ is quite stout with the ARB and my tires are 73lbs a piece. I don't do as much off roading as I would like but i do enjoy the mud..

I did get the Demello set. Hopefully soon I'll get them installed. When I do I'll take some pics

Oh sure, I can do that. They are sitting in the back of the FJ awaiting some free time for me to install them. When the weather clears I'll get some photos
