Can someone with the TRD Brake kit tell me how much of a difference there is in stopping power, size (Will it fit my wheels?), cost for install, any other problems or issues?
Thanks,
Ben

I would look at other sources for a big brake kit, while the TRD is a good kit its not worth the price IMO. You do pay for the name.
I would recomend giving these guys a try for a big brake kit. I have used them in past and they are top notch. They will help you out with what you are looking for.

You will need 18s for that kit. I believe Air2Air might be running it.
edit: Air2air's brake kit is made by StopTech. It's not the same as the regular TRDs.

oem brakes stop the car in 125 feet,
why would you wanna change your brakes?
they stop a stock righ in 125 feet. When you add steel bumpers, sliders, skids, and all the other crap we throw on our rigs, that 125 quickly gets longer. Good breaks are an important mod that are often overlooked. Plus they look awesome.

But you will no longer be able to use 16 and 17 inch wheels. The size restriction on tire selection is a big compromise.
Edit: regular TRD brakes will work with 16s and 17s. I was referring to Air2air's "StopTech" kit earlier (which was later purchased by TRD).

I'm pretty positive you don't need 18 inch wheels to use the TRD big break kit. I've seen it on a TRD edition FJ with just stock 16 inch TRD wheels. Just upgrading to stainless braided break lines will make a big improvement. Add some performance pads and it will be even better.

I wasnt to impressed by my brakes stock now i have 305/65/17's heavier wheels. When I have to replace my brakes i would just upgrade. From what i here it is like a mm difference. I would want to know if the trd brake upgrade would add much more stopping power.
They wouldnt make the trd kit if it didnt fit on the trd special edition and that truck is running 16's
