Ergh.
So now thats 4 vs 3.5.
No longer an open/shut case!

on related note - according to Advance, their "OEM" matching pads are organic? WTF? That's not right, is it?
one mention of "semi-metallics suck" - I thought this is hwta 90% of pads were made of?


Organic? I think that means no Chinese were involved in the manufacturing process <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />

If you go here you can get Genuine Yota stuff at wholesale(30% savings)...

(Staceman turned me on to this place!)
your front pads are $20.62 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


Well, so I went this route, 1sttoyotaparts. Which, btw, is just a dealership in WA selling at wholesale.
Interesting story, though. I receive the package Sat (ordered Monday) - only to discover they'd sent me a wheel cylinder kit. Correct price, wrong part. Had to wait 'til today to get ahold of the "internet sales" guy.
Turns out the website it just plain wrong, has an error - they have this part and wheel cylinder switched, so when you order the pads, you get the cylinder, and vice versa.
They're shipping the right ones today and FedEx picking up my old ones at no cost to me.

The pads are really 30.25+shipping (which for me is $8), putting the total now near $40, + 2 weeks of waiting.
Will report back on my feelings on it.

With 200+ Billion electrical parts, the world most complicated machine is inside your own skull.

Question Reality.
