    When I brake my car's front end shakes. So, I replaced the rotors and calipers on my 2008 Toyota 4Runner on the front and the back but it has not solved problem. My next step is to purchase the Power Stop Z36 braking system in hopes to solve the problem. The product is expensive but if it will solve the problem I do not mind paying for it. Has anyone out there had this problem and if so how did you solve it? Thank you in advance for any feedback.

    I have no clue. But wouldn't advise rushing to buy " Power Stop Z36 braking system" without a root cause analysis

    I have the powerstop kit on my 5th gen. Its a decent OEM replacement. Having said that you need to figure out why it's shaking. Throwing another set of different pads, calipers and rotors isn't going to help the problem that the last rotor/caliper swap didn't.
