Blackie2008
What sort of pads are you running? I use the bendix 4x4 pads and with the slotted rotors, it was a massive difference over standard (2008) brakes.

I have just done the Prado brake upgrade, and to tell the truth I found that there really was not all that much of an improvement, over the stock brakes that I had on originally.
Everything was done by the (Hilux Max book) all calipers and pads etc.. were reconditioned renewed and the rotors were RDA slotted and brand new.
After having everything installed I did a road test and was expecting to leave a face imprint in my dash but, I found that the pedal had a fair did more travel, to get the brakes to work.
I took my car to Jaxs and asked if they would check out the rear drums, and see if they were in need of replacement expecting the worst, I sat and waited but 1/2 an hour later the manager came in and said no that the rears were fine and they had plenty of life left in them.
He did say that the rears just needed a bit of adjustment and that was done for free,and yes pedal travel was reduced.
To be truthful I was expecting the kind of braking that would snap both my arms off but have found this not to be the case.
Just My 2cents worth
