    Hey guys! Merry Christmas! Hope it’s merry and wonderful with all your family and friends.
    I plan on putting on tundra s13WE brakes on my 2001 runner and i was wondering if anyone knows if these are okay? - https://www.1aauto.com/toyota-sequoia-tundra-front-driver-and-passenger-side-2-piece-performance-brake-caliper-set-trq performance-cla49926/i/1abcs00559/2801516?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1Km7BhC9ARIsAFZfEItfXI6xXsUw9VSqxsP3Ot-3hUljJEda90F5C85ifAsUDRqlc4r9dQ4aAjCpEALw_wcB
    I can’t seem to find other 199mm calipers. U mostly find just s13WL’s.
    If you have any other suggestions for parts? I plan on using OEM tundra rotors and brake pads.https://toyotaparts.ourismantoyotao...ympK7EDtrs7M3WQhh35aC9N7cgOsjvn4aAkWVEALw_wcB
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SL4XAU

    Or should i just buy this set? https://www.1aauto.com/toyota-sequo...alipers-trq-performance-bka33517/i/1apbs07091

    I’m just struggling big time knowing which parts definitely fit with others. Any help is appreciated!

    This page has a great step-by-step guide (with pics) on the upgrade, as well as links to all the parts needed (at varying price points - including the 13WE calipers). OEM is best for the pads, but for the calipers you shouldn't pay the premium. Get them from your local parts store (ideally) or Amazon, which will give a lifetime warranty in case you ever need to replace them.

    And don't forget the upgraded lines, they make a big difference with the larger calipers.

    https://adventuretaco.com/guide/step-by-step-tundra-brake-upgrade-on-a-tacoma-or-4runner/

    Here's the parts list from that write up:
    Note: alternatively, if you want to buy a kit that contains rotors, calipers, and pads, you can purchase one from Callahan. The components won't be quite as high quality as the OEM components listed above, but many people go this route to save a bit of money. If you do go this route, you still need the Tacoma-to-Tundra Hard Brake Line Upgrade Kit (or for a 4Runner, the 4Runner Front Stainless Steel Brake Lines), some DOT4 brake fluid, and 3M brake cleaner.​

    Thanks @turbodb ! I hope this helps because I occasionally get shaking on the front end when I brake from high speeds. It only happens sometimes, so it is weird.
