ls400_1999 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hi Folks, I have decided to DIY when my front brake are worned. What is the best disc brake & pads should I go for? I don't track the car so I don't really need drilled rotors. Thanks for any advice. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 When I need Toyota/Lexus brake pads, I order them from Irontoad.com which sells genuine T/L parts at a lot less that your local dealer. Yesterday, I replaced the pads and calipers on my neighbors 96 Avalon. The pads were very low but not inot the rotors but the calipers were in very bad condition and the boots were decompsoing. I knew that by forcing the piston back into the cylinder would cause them to bind. Since he has 270,000 miles on it, we went to the junkyard and took calipers off a 97 Camry which fit exactly. Only took less than an hour, very easy job done very cheaply. New calipers run around $115 at Bap-Geon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
