Way better then stock brakes!
I have waited to put about 10,000 miles on these brakes before I left a review. All I can say is that these brakes are much better than stock Tacoma brakes. Kit was super easy to install and fit perfectly, comes with everything you need. I do some towing and have noticed a greater stopping performance. So far the brakes haven’t warped and I have got them really hot. The drill and slotted rotors perform well but also look cool! So far I haven’t heard any brake noise and they seem to be wearing slowly. This is the kit to buy, I cannot believe how cheap it was. Super happy with my purchase!

Great aftermarket kit!
I installed this on my 2013 Tacoma. Everything fit excellent and I had zero trouble. The kit came with all of the hardware needed, including the pad springs. Once I bedded them in, they are smooth and do not squeal. Great stopping power!

Better and cheaper than OEM
I am on my second set of these. The Power Stop rotors and pads are a solid improvement over the OEM ones. I stop somewhat in advance (maybe one truck length on average) than I did with the stock brakes. The amount brake pedal travel is the same and the tactile feel of the brake system is the same, but they seem to "ramp up" braking power better. The initial amount of bite is about the same, but after that the actual deceleration process happens faster. They feel more "progressive" where the OEM ones seemed more "linear". Install process on my '08 Tacoma was easy, did both sides by myself in about 2 hours or so. An M8 bolt will thread into your old rotor and pop it off super easy. The little packet of brake pad grease is barely enough. I re-used my OEM pin clips as they were more secure. Be sure to bed the pads and rotors in properly. Do 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in rapid succession without letting the brakes cool and do not come to a complete stop. Then do 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph in rapid succession without letting the brakes cool. Then drive around without touching the brakes for 5-10 min.

Best Brakes for towing and hauling.
These brakes came with all new hardware and install was super simple. (though i am very mechanically inclined) After the brake in, I towed a camper over 3000 miles with my 2020 Tacoma. Though all the mountains and one lane roads with people riding their brakes for no reason, they never over heated. I never smelled hot brakes, never felt even a hint of brake fade, and they have very good stopping power. Defiantly would recommend for any one with a Tacoma.

Fantastic brake kit, only downside is they produce a good bit of brake dust.
Installed the Z36 pads and rotors on my lifted Tacoma with 33's. I noticed my brakes weren't keeping up with my truck after I lifted my truck and installed a lot of weight from stock. These have been fantastic and the only reason I would give them 4.5 stars but amazon doesn't work that way, the only reason I took off half a point is the brake dust these produce is more that some other brands ive used on my vehicles.

Works smoooottthh! No noise and does the job well. Just make sure to do the break in procedures and you're set! I've had it for 10k miles and haven't seen any rust forming!

Easy to install.
I bought these almost a year ago and just now got around to installing them. They were easy to install, and the rotors look sharp. They are braking well. I feel much safer.

Awesome stock replacement on my 2018 Tacoma. I tow and haul quite often and so I figured I’d give these a shot. They work well, I don’t know if they are better than factory but for the price I was willing to give them a try. Time will tell if I get 150,000km’s out of these like my factory. Installation was also fairly easy and didn’t take very long at all.

Easy install and they work so much better the the OEM ones. I didn't realize how bad the factory brakes were until I put these on. I followed the brake in to a T and they really grip when you apply the brakes.
