Toyoda Hilux/Landcruiser have compact 4-spot calipers, but they are heavy cast iron pieces.

Overview

NOTE: For light alloy 4-pot calipers, see Brake_Swaps#4-piston_Calipers

Hilux calipers are heavy, but are inexpensive and readily available high performance brake calipers.

RockAuto.com
4WD Hilux 1979-1990
4WD Pickup 1986-1988 (USA)
Landcruiser 60-series 1976-1990
2 small + 2 large pistons (43 + 34 mm)
* Centric 142.44014 (Left) & 142.44013 (Right) Loaded
* Centric 141.44014 & 141.44013 (Semi-loaded)
S12+8 for 289 mm x 20 mm rotors
Landcruiser HZJ75 series have 4 equal size pistons
EC526 LN106 and LN130 1989-1991
* Look very much like an improved Nismo MK63 Brakes caliper in iron
* SW13A
* SW13B
* Sumitomo S13WA: 45.34 mm bores (1.785")
* Sumitomo S12W for 302 mm x 20 mm rotors
4-pot calipers advantage
* allow for not very tall, but wide brake pads
* allow for small diameter wheel
* look cool
Disadvantage
* heavy (unless made of alloy)
* expensive to repair
* not any better than sliding calipers

S12-8

s12+8 calipers - stanza strut

Landcruiser 4-spot conversion on a Nissan C210 Skyline strut and running FWD 14 inch wheels for the offset.

On A10 Stanza strut, vented 200B rotors (were they available vented?) with hilux/landcruiser 4-spots machined slightly to centre them over the rotor.

Discussions

Discussion: Rotor to suit Hilux caliper and stanza strut

Best rotor may be the 257mm number 40206-71E07 S13/S14/M11/C22/C33/C34/P10/WP11/R32/A31/U12/U13/U14 unit.
