We see many auto Hilux's come in with warped rotors.
Basically its driving style. People leave them in D for "DUH" and expect it to pull up in an instant all while towing and/or they also have fitted larger wheels/tyres.
The Hilux brakes are the best on the market. Bigger than any other ute anyway. Only the newer Navaras and VW have 4 wheel discs. But then they only have twin pot sliding caliers. Hilux has 4pot calipers on the fronts.
Genuine pads have been performing better and lasting far longer than aftermarket pads as well. Some of the aftermarket pads are so hard or metallic, they are next to useless and destroy rotors very quickly.
A proper bed in period is needed for brakes to last properly also.
In my racing experience it is even more vital this is done properly. The advise for normal driving is just the same.

Whats the going price of the DBC 3000?
I have RDA dimpled and slotted rotors with the Bendix pads with RDA shoe pads at the rear.
