Re grease - I grabbed some of this that I was going to put on the back of the pads along with some regular bearing grease on the slides. Please let me know if your son advises differently.

I'm guessing that if a new hardware kit and some brake grease doesn't do it I'll need to toss my new pads and buy some OEM ones? For reference, this is what I used:

When I looked them up I noticed for $10 more you'd get some that include a hardware kit, which I just paid like $20 for! |
First, do not use standard bearing grease - or any other regular grease for that matter - on brakes. The high heat generated in the system will cause the grease to break down (bad) and possibly run down on the friction surfaces (even worse). Here are the only two products my son recommends for use on Toyota brakes:
As for the hardware kits - Toyota calls them Fit Kits - my son had some more advice based on personal experience. He does not recommend or use aftermarket hardware due to poor fitting parts. He got burned a couple of times on his own car and a few others he worked on and had to install the OEM Fit Kits later to rectify hanging pad issues.
