OEM siya AFAIK. And legit seller si JC.

Akala ko pinaglalaban ng Toyota na mas okay ang rear drum brakes para sa ganun klaseng SUV? right now they updated with rear disc brakes na in Thailand and sooner or later dito na

Montero sport not so good quality? I thought Mitsubishi is good in terms of that.

And speaking of Fortuner, Thailand just released their 4 wheel disc version, and we will get the update soon. Dont worry about it my friends

there is a difference between "broken" and "better".
and even then, sometimes, the difference is more of subjective than objective.

hey! if it will sell a few more forts,...

I'll purchase the conversion kit in Thailand as soon as my toyota warranty ends. Braking would still be superior when comparing a disc vs. a drum. 1) better heat dissipation. 2) easier to maintain since replacing disc brake pads is hella lot easier than shoe pads. 3) once you wade in a flood prone area your drum brakes automatically suffer... water and dirt gets stuck inside hence making braking very hard and wearing the drum itself.

I've done a couple of DIY conversions as long as you have the basic tools then you're good to go. I did it on my old starex and fortuner and that was more than a decade ago and the aftermarket disc brakes are still in great condition. The price is quite affordable around less than $200 so you wouldn't be taxed by customs now unlike before. ;) P10k above ang taxable ngayon ata sa customs.

good for you, sir!

but for everyday driving, driver will probably feel very little, if any, difference.
except for the occasional flood wading, that is.

True, I feel the rear drum brake is adequate naman sa city, feel ko nga malakas nga eh.
