Perfect Stop Brakes and Rotors

I was just wondering if anyone has used Perfect Stop brand brakes on their Tacoma? Bumper to Bumper has a pretty good price on them here in Canada and they are in stock (https://www.bumpertobumper.com/products.php#perfectstop). I'm looking at replacing the front pads, rotors, and possibly calipers.

 

I have no personal experience with that brand since I'm in the states. I will offer a general caution on aftermarket brake parts in general though. I've learned the hard way that particularly when it comes to brakes, OEM parts are the best Not the cheapest, but the best. I'd be especially careful with aftermarket rebuilt or remanufactured calipers. Even if they start with an OEM core (which is not a guarantee), the parts they install are inferior and you'll end up replacing them way sooner than you replaced the OEM ones. Trust me on this one.

 

They are opossum approved, how can you go wrong?! Never heard if that brand. Save your receipt if they offer a warranty.

 

Never heard of them either. I only go with Advics which are OEM or Akebono.

 

Unless of course that's the opossum that got run over when the vehicle couldn't stop.

 

Anyone take their new out of the box rotors to be cut before installing? Every new rotor replacement from my last 2 Tacomas I have never had them cut 1st. After 15k the wheel vibration and steering wheel shake starts and it starts as soon as I touch the brake no matter how fast I go. Can be felt all the way to the full stop.

 

With any high-quality rotor, there is absolutely no need to have them turned right out of the box. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that you have a better chance of messing them up on most of the shop brake lathes I've seen. The original manufacturing process utilizes far better equipment and process control. Now, if you're talking Chinese "white box" rotors, you may be correct. But they're junk anyway.
