Race-Grade Six-Piston Braking for the Tundra and LC200 Platform
The ALCALABKF1559K18 Alcon Big Brake Kit brings motorsport-grade front brake performance to the 2016 through 2022 Toyota Tundra and 2016 through 2021 Land Cruiser 200 Series platform. The kit features a 6-piston iron caliper paired with a 355x36mm slotted rotor that delivers measurable reductions in disc temperature, pad wear rate, and pedal effort compared to the factory setup. Engineered to work within OEM wheel clearances and without suspension modification, the ALCALABKF1559K18 is an ideal upgrade for Tundra and LC200 owners who demand consistent braking performance under load, towing, or off-road conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ALCALABKF1559K18?
The ALCALABKF1559K18 is an Alcon 6-piston front big brake kit designed for the 2016 through 2022 Toyota Tundra and 2016 through 2021 Land Cruiser 200 Series. It replaces the factory front brake assembly with a 355x36mm slotted rotor and 6-piston iron caliper for measurably improved brake performance under load and off-road conditions.
How much does this kit reduce brake disc temperature?
Alcon reports a 45 percent reduction in brake disc temperature rise compared to the OEM setup, improving resistance to brake fade during sustained or repeated heavy braking.
Does this kit fit the Land Cruiser 200 Series?
Yes. The ALCALABKF1559K18 is confirmed to fit the 2016 through 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series platform. Compatibility with the Land Cruiser 300 Series is not confirmed for this part number.
Will this kit work with OEM Toyota wheels?
The kit is designed to fit within the clearance of many OEM 17 and 18-inch Toyota alloy and steel wheel designs.
Does the ALCALABKF1559K18 require a brake booster upgrade?
No. The kit is designed for direct compatibility with the factory OEM hydraulic actuation system and existing master cylinder without additional components.
What is the Tundra fitment cutoff year for this kit?
This kit fits the 2016 through 2022 Tundra on the first-generation XK50 platform. The 2022 model year redesigned Tundra uses a different platform and requires a different kit.
Is this a front-only kit?
Yes. The ALCALABKF1559K18 covers the front axle only. Alcon also offers rear brake kit options for the Tundra and LC200 platform.
How do I bed in the new Alcon pads and rotors?
Perform 10 moderate stops from approximately 40 mph to 5 mph without coming to a full stop, allowing cooling time between stops. Avoid hard stops until the bed-in is complete.
