Not the whole system, but it is comparable to the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) part of AHC. Can be a nice upgrade as it can dynamically adapt damping based on condition and load.
My buddies new F150 Raptor gets Fox Livewire which is also...
They are both the same car with different suspensions. Depending on use each one has a place. The other difference are soo minute IMO. I ended up buying LC after test driving 6-8 different LXs and not understanding why they handled soo...
I think that LX is slightly quieter.
LX has less nose dive.
LX has self leveling in towing and can kneel for old folks & short people.
LC has better handling and ride comfort, especially off-road.
Im feeling bad I didn't find these 7 years ago. I have changed brakes way too many times on my LC. Many sets of TRD pads, many sets of akebanos, OEM pads, I hope this solves it.
I wouldn't go so far as to say great pads for track use are desirable for street use. Just that the LTS pads really expands the envelope of friction and high temp capacity/performance while keeping still great street qualities.
Here's how Hawk...
Does it improve stopping distance or is it just feel in your opinion? Tirerack said it should be 30-40% better than regular ceramic. I read one review claiming it even gets better when hotter.
I had the HPS pads for ~40k. Re-used the same pads when I did the Tundra BBK.
Using LTS on all 4 wheels. Surprised by the amount of added brake friction with these pads. Braking action between the Tundra calipers and these pads, against...
How long did the HPS pads last you? I forgot did you do the Tundra Big Brake Upgrade?
Thanks for chiming in, I ordered Hawk LTS and cancelled the other order! What did you use in the rear?
Agree 7500 miles through a set of pads seems pretty extreme but then again I don't know what the day to day usage looks like. Are you using full face blank rotors? Drilled and slotted may wear pads prematurely.
I just installed some new Hawk...
So I ordered the powerstop set this time. I am pretty sure Akebanos don't like the tundra brakes.

The only thing nicer about the 2016 is the grill. My 2009 LED headlights are much brighter. My tech is better (touch screen nav) - i dont care for android/apple junk.
If anything Id rather have 2 2008s vs 1 2016.
It has, I've gotten older and not going over 90mph for a few years. If I had a different vehicle/tire combo i might but the Bruiser slowed me down considerably. I blame the RW lately, as putting on the heavier tire combo gave all kinds of...
My driving style is not that aggressive (mostly 10mph over speed limit which is typical in chicago), the KO2s slowed me down alot compared to michelins. For me there was marginal difference with TRD and akebano but this was on my old regular...
No towing, chicago has a lot of stop and go traffic on highways when im doing 80mph. A lot of last second braking. No high speed maneuvers, slightly aggressive braking. My LC has no raft.
I think rotors are ok this time because there is no...
So last year I did the big brake Tundra upgrade which was nice initially, 10 months 7500 miles later top of the line akebano asp ceramic pads are worn completely down. I'm pretty sure it has to be from the inertia of the heavy 33" KO2 10ply tire...
I haven't really noticed but maybe.
The 300 just seems like a soccer mom car no longer an overbuilt monster vehicle. Im trying to find comparison between 200 vs 300 axle.
What do you mean? 300s have barely been out and one of the first accidents and it split at the seam.
I remember why I bought my 200, a mudder described having an iaed explode under them in Iraq splitting the 200 in 2 but everyone surviving...
