    Have you been under it lately to check for any chaffing? A concern with running longer hoses.

    Thanks for the replies. I ordered new front an rear pads from St. Charles Isuzu and new (rebuilt) Isuzu rear calipers. No one seemed to have any advice on after market calipers. I plan to order new rotors all around from R1Concepts. I can't find much info on SS brake lines for a non-lifted VX. The I4X sound like they can work but I don't want issues with my mechanic if he thinks they are too long. If there is any more advice out there, please let me know soon. Thanks again.

    Since i bought my VX i had issues with my brakes running long so my mech told me to replace all rotors & pads

    I just purchase a full set of drilled rotors from this seller.

    The pads i'll rather buy them in person.

    Is there any pads that is recommended ?

    X 2...I've never had a vehicle that had such minimal brake dust.

    OEM = good stuff!
