I have had great luck with RA, when it comes to break parts I have come to OEM they just seem to last longer and be more consistent. If you dig around on line and find a OEM (Olathe Toyota) the price difference is to painful.

Why not buy oem honda parts? I've bought parts from Honda online and at the dealer.The prices aren't that bad.

Centric are decent.

Akebono are top notch and still made in the US. Very few rotors are made in the US anymore.

I live RockAuto and keep an eye on their warehouse closeouts.
Just snagged Akebono pads for the Tundra for $33 usually $70

What rotors do you run with those pads? Would the oem Tundra (2018) rotors work okay?

OEM pads for the Tundra (and many Toyotas) are made by Akebono. So they will work fine. I am not sure who the OEM supplier for the rotors are.

I have been using Brembo for years now. However the last batch I bought were no longer made in Italy but China or Mexico for standard OEM replacements.
I believe all their high performance stuff is still made in Italy.

I should be fine turning my current set of Brembos but my pads are ready to call it a day so I am back to Akebono.

My next set of rotors on this truck will likely be DBA (made in Australia) or EBC (made in the UK).
The only US made rotors I am aware of for the Tundra is Hawk and Baer.
I had a terrible experience with 2 sets of Hawks on the wife’s Suburban with one being a warranty replacement so those will never be purchased again.
Baer only has drilled and slotted that I can find and do not like those for regular street and off-road use.

I use Rockauto all the time and usually go ACDelco for my Chevrolet truck. I am about to order a new fuel pump this week from them.

The only other place I order from is A1.Auto. I bought my front bearing, rotors, and pads from them and got their TRQ brand. However if I am replacing something like a sensor or something deep in the vehicle not easy to replace, I am going with a factory part from Rockauto.
