Our review of the Power Stop Brake Kit for Toyota Tacoma finds it a practical, no-nonsense replacement for drivers who need to restore original braking performance without fuss. This kit is aimed at owners of 6 lug Tacoma models from 2005 through 2022 who want a complete rear drum and shoe solution that installs with no modifications. The single biggest reason to buy is convenience: the kit ships with coated replacement drums, new shoes, springs, hold downs and adjusters so the job is straightforward and returns braking to near OE feel.

Key Features

• Complete rear kit: Includes 2 rear brake drums and a full rear brake shoe set so both sides are refreshed at once for consistent stopping.
• All hardware included: The kit contains hold down springs and an adjuster kit to replace worn components and avoid mixing old hardware with new shoes.
• OE replacement fit: Designed for 6 lug Toyota Tacoma models 2005-2022 so installation is bolt on with no modifications required.
• Coated drums: Evolution premium coated brake drums arrive pre-finished to resist corrosion and improve appearance over raw cast drums.
• Stock performance: The Z17 stock replacement specification aims to restore daily driven stopping power to factory levels.

Who It's For

This kit is for Tacoma owners who want a straightforward, cost effective rear drum and shoe replacement that restores factory stopping power and includes the hardware needed for a clean install. It is especially suited to drivers maintaining older Tacomas or doing routine brake service who prefer to replace both drums and shoes at the same time.
