Remanufactured Calipers? (1 Viewer)

[AZGXinator]

FYI!!! Amazon has Centric OE rebuild calipers on sale. $130 for the pair (plus tax). Can't say for sure, but I didn't see a requirement to send back your calipers.

Like I mentioned, I have the GX470 PowerStop front rotors and Z36 pads on currently. The stopping power is amazing, but I'm have the pulsing again after 9,000 miles.

Check out this link from Powerstop: What Causes the Brake Pedal to Pulse or Vibrate? - PowerStop Brakes.
I did the Powerstop recommended 'bedding' process a couple of different times and my rotors are clean and the braking is smooth. I did do calipers, rotors, pads and a complete brake fluid flush (very dirty fluid). That said, my brakes do not have 9000 miles on them either. Let me know what you find out.

Thanks. I've heard that too. I'll give it a try this weekend. I did the break-in process when I first installed them. Not sure why I would have to keep going through that process, especially with their drilled and slotted rotors, but I'll give it a shot. Interestingly, I haven't heard of any complaints of pulsating on the GX460, or those that have converted to the GX460 caliper and rotors. Which is the reason I'm doing the conversion. We'll see. Thanks again.

Thanks for all the replies fellas. For better or worse I went with wrecking yard calipers off a 10-13 4runner which I believe is the same as a gx460. Think I ****ed up instead of going with rebuilds? Gonna go with Akebono rotors and pads and a fresh fluid change. Hopefully the setup does me right.

I’ve spent some money out the gate on this gx470, hopefully this truck is gonna roll hard for a long time.
I’ll update the thread when I get them on in a few days.

Let's see a pic of your rig...

I'm sure you will be just fine with the JY calipers. Let us know how it does, and share some pics if you get a chance.

Here's a pic of "Big G." No work done yet, but OME lift is on order from Rocky Road Outfitters. Good things to come soon.

Thank you sir! Probably My favorite color on the gx470s.

Love the FN wheels!! I have my eye on a set of those as well! AND the Cooper Discovery AT. How do you like the set?

Very nice! You dint see alot of the blue ones. Love that color.

 

[AZGXinator]

Did you go with the standard load or LTs?

 

[AZGXinator]

Thanks!

So far it blows away the stock setup I had before. It noticeably changes the look and feel of the vehicle. Its much more planted now and is still extremely quiet and took away the bit of rear side to side play the vehicle seemed to have. The zero offset wheels look much sharper and more aggressive too. I haven’t taken it offroad yet so unknown on that front. Very happy so far. Just need to get my brake situation handled so I can start piling up miles on it.

Standard.

My profile pic is of my GX with broken air suspension. I have removed the air suspension and installed 2017 4Runner springs to hold me over until my RadFlow 2.5 lift arrives. I need to update that pic.

Today's deliveries!!

Initial thoughts on the Raybestos rotors & Callahan calipers....WOW!! Both look better than expected. Yeah, I know, let's wait for the performance test. Hitting the road this weekend, so hoping to have it completed next weekend. I'll do plenty of posting when it happens.

NICE...they look awesome! Do not forget to follow the "bed in" instructions (at least Powerstop has this requirment).
