Brake Pad Replacements

[matthewy03]

I just bought some Wagner Ceramic ThermoQuiet brake pads for my front end, but haven't put them on yet. I thought that I was buying a quality pair of pads but after I did some searches it seems some people report these pads warping stock 4Runner roters and being too hard. Does anybody out there run these pads?? Or what are a quality pair of pads that have a good reputation??

Thanks!!

Toyota OEM brake pads.

I just replaced my pads on all 4 wheels about two weeks ago. I decided to go with the Toyota OEM pads. I have been satisfied with them since I bought the car and did not want to experiment with anything else when it was time to change them.

Not sure if you already bought them, but depending on what shape they are in, you might need to replace the pins on the front. Some people just clean them and use them again, but at about $1 a piece I decided to just buy four new ones since the old ones were in rough shape.
