Not saying that you could not need a replacement or change because of the way they drove but he's old man and I'm assuming not hard at all. So I'm in or should I say I am under the belief that he had to change them because of the issue that they say the forerunners have. This is all assumption on my part

There is not an issue with the original oem brakes under normal driving circumstances (in my opinion). I'm all OEM and have had no issues in the 8 years, 100,000 km I have driven. Other than cleaning, lubing and flushing I have not touched the brakes at all. Mine is a 5spd so it is inherently easier on brakes than an auto.
I think a lot of brake issues arise once people start putting aftermarket parts on. If yours are already aftermarket then you might as well do as you like.
