Rotora's using my X-runner for big brake kit!

I just got off the phone with Loren over at Rotora. They want to use my truck to design a big brake kit. They will be using a 14.2" rotor and 6 piston calipers, and will also design a 16" rotor with 8 piston caliper.



They said they will start all the measurements and developing after the sema show.

Cool

Well I hope you're telling us this from a mobile internet connection because any sane person would already have their truck on the way!

I'll be there for sure. I get off at 5 but I'm gonna try and skip out earlier. I can't wait to get these brakes on there these stock ones suck. They arent even the prerunner brakes with the 4 piston calipers, they are the 4 cyl dual piston brakes! I hate them. This truck has way too much power for the brakes. Good thing I can downshift, but it's costing me gas mileage.

The way I look at it is that if I don't have these brakes I could possible get in trouble if I need to slow down quicker. Plus I like to do alot of mountain driving and in the future maybe some auto-x with it. And seeing as I am one of the first people to own one of these trucks I gotta hurry up and take advantage of the aftermarket companies that need test vehicles. JP Performance wants to design a full exhaust on it too.

Anyone got any other ideas on what I could hook this truck up with?


And yes I'm planning on getting the supercharger.

I'm bringing the truck down to Rotora tommorrow to do the measurements. Hopefully I can get the kit soon. Oh and we might be able to get them to do a kit for the gen3 and 4 camry owners as well. I'll see if Allen(ufoz) and I can talk them into it.

Hey, but we'll tell them that they need to design a kit for the gen3 camry's and that they have to use your car for the prototype.
