Just to note that if you have upgraded suspension and rear is lifted higher (actual final mm) say 35 mm front and 60 mm rear, you may find braking performance has suffered, noticed more under lighter braking applications.
This is due the the Electronic Brakeforce Distribution programme backing off hydraulic pressure to rear brakes, it does the opposite if rear is sagged or front is raised and will allow more pressure to rear brakes.
The Yaw sensor is tricked into thinking there is less weight over rear wheels and doesn’t want them to lock up.
To correct the problem Toyota can reset the yaw sensor to new ride height. The vehicle can actually throw a trouble code if ride height goes outside perimeters.
