My 2002 4Runner had the same problem. I know Tundra brakes would have solved the issue (and future issues), but I thought I'd give the stock-sized rotors another try. I felt the Tundra brakes were a bit of an overkill, since I do not tow like crazy.

This time, I went with Autozone Duralast rotors. They come with a 2 year warranty, so if they warp, just take them in and get new ones. Then, I got some ceramic pads (also from Autozone). The new set up worked great, and even coming down the canyon from the ski resorts (which means constantly riding the brakes), I felt no fade at all. I would have liked to try the Hawk LTS pads from Tirerack (great reviews), but I needed them done that day. I put on 20k miles after that and they performed awesome. I purposely rode the brakes all the way down the canyon one time, and still felt hardly any fade.
