drmull Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hello - I need to do front & rear pads on my '99. What brand of pad should I look for (I'm assuming ceramic) and what is a good online source for them? I'm sure somebody out there has bought some! Are there equivalent Toyota OEM parts? Thanks!

Were you happy with the performance and service from your original pads? Many like Akebono as they are purported to be the Toyota OEM supplier. Over the years I have tried various pads, sometimes to save a few bucks and sometimes to get better braking performance. I was always happier with good ole Toyota pads. Buy them from an on-line discounter and you will find that you don't save much money by buying anything but Toyota. Most here will disagree with me, but I have never found a pad that performed (braking, rotor life, noise and dust) and fit better than Toyota OEM.

lenore Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I used the Akebono pads, and they did not make quite the distance of the originals. they went 55k miles versus 80k miles on the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmull Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks for the replies. Exactly which Toyota pads should I buy for my '99? Are they Highlander pads?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
