I'm looking to upgrade my front brakes to a bbk. Help me decide between a Wilwood Forged Superlite 4 BBK and a TRD BBK. Also if I get the Wilwoods should I go for drilled and slotted or just slotted? Both BBK are around the same price of 1100 bucks.
The only difference I'm seeing is that the TRD are 1 piece rotor.
I do have TRD 18'' wheels.
Thanks for the opinions

I would personally go for Wilwood. Plus, it was proven that Wilwoods can fit behind stock rims. I also heard slotted rotors are better for tracking.

Rotora is my choice.

He is not asking for Rotora.

Wilwood slotted...done

I've heard good things about wilwood so..yeah..wilwood gets my vote. The TRD is probably a rebadged BBK from some other company anyway no?

Wilwood and only get slotted. Drilled or Drilled/slotted is garbage... Goodluck

Thanks guys. Anymore suggestions out there?

slotted ftw

rangerryda · 06-12-2010, 02:30 PM

TRD is rebadged Rotora I thought...

Domo · 06-12-2010, 06:25 PM

no

Cwatz5219 · 06-12-2010, 06:40 PM

Aren't TRDs re-badged StopTechs?

Cwatz5219 · 06-12-2010, 06:52 PM

Just installed my Wilwood kit a few days ago and i love them. The only issue i'm having now is with my brakes being mushy when i first step on them and then they stiffen up. I followed the proper bleeding method and got all air bubbles so i don't understand why its like this

torqueTc · 06-13-2010, 03:22 AM

TRD's are infact STOPTECH. Go with that - thats what I rock. Sorry my isht looks dirty.

5 to 1 Wilwood so far. Any other suggestions?

rangerryda · 06-13-2010, 06:02 AM

You can always rock out the cheaper OEM relocator option where you get a much bigger rotor and it still uses the stock calipers. Nice big rotor + pad upgrade + SS lines would definitely be noticeable. It's a cheaper option.

Anyone else?

JDMTC5 · 06-14-2010, 03:25 AM

no trd bbk r just tacoma calipers thats all

Ahh as far as make they are really are all the same minus metal treatments. Choose your caliper with amount of pistons in it. (IE. 4, 6, or lol 8.) Then your brake disc, you can choose different finishes, also you could get slotted which dissipates heat to the entire disc under hard conditions your disc will hold up and not warp. Drilled gets rid of the heat instead of evenly distributing it. Drilled and slotted are a combo of the two. I would do with Wilwood 6 piston drilled. (more reputable and longer in the business plus more street credit.)

I think you should go for the best price ! Both of the kit's are nice so you won't regret it...
