Front Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 6-Lug Tacoma and 4Runner - G-Coated

Our review of this front brake pad and rotor kit finds it best suited for owners who want a ready-to-install, performance-oriented replacement for Toyota trucks and SUVs. The kit is aimed at DIYers and independent shops that need a direct-fit front rotor and pad set for 6-lug Tacoma models and certain 4Runner and FJ Cruiser applications. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a slotted x drilled, G-coated performance rotor and semi-metallic pads supplied together so rotors and pads are matched and prepped for straightforward installation.

Key Features

• Complete front kit: Includes a front premium G-coated slotted x drilled rotor set and matched front semi-metallic brake pads so you replace both wear items at once for consistent braking performance.
• Direct fit design: Pre-assembled, direct replacement components are made to fit 6-lug Tacoma fronts and specific 4Runner and FJ Cruiser caliper castings, reducing the need for modifications.
• Performance surface: The slotted x drilled rotor surface helps dissipate heat and gases for more consistent stopping during repeated stops or towing use.
• Semi-metallic pad material: Pads offer strong initial bite and reliable fade resistance under load, making them suitable for truck and SUV duty.
• Corrosion resistance: G-coating on the rotors improves surface protection and helps maintain appearance and serviceability over time.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for Toyota Tacoma owners with 6-lug front hubs and for drivers of 2003-09 4Runner models with the specified caliper casting and 2007-14 FJ Cruiser owners who want a matched rotor and pad set with a performance-oriented rotor face. It suits DIY mechanics who prefer a single-package replacement with pre-pressed or ready-to-install parts to save time on a brake job.

Those who primarily drive light passenger cars, need ceramic-only quiet street pads, or require heavy-duty commercial truck rotors should look elsewhere. Also confirm fitment using your vehicle's caliper casting or wheel lug configuration before purchase to avoid compatibility issues.
